Thanks for this.  I toyed around with this idea a few years ago, but I got the
sense that the list of colors varied from distro to distro, so I put it on
indefinite hold.  Looking at your source, I wonder if the inconsistencies may
have been because I was looking at X11 rather than SVG.

I'm pretty sure that, as the W3C has adopted sRGB as its standard, your colors
should be #declared with `srgb` rather than `rgb`.  Your list is consistent with
mine, and when I render these colors, it seems clear that they are gamma-2.2 or
sRGB encoded.  Note that the `srgb` keyword will yield consistent colors
regardless of your assumed_gamma setting.
