Color:...Windows(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to Color::Library::Dictionary::Windows — it's the Windows color dictionary from Color::Library 💖 (the manual page calls it Color:...Windows(3pm), and it's part of the user contributed Perl documentation, iykyk). Basically? It's the (Windows) colors straight out of the Windows system palette. 🎀

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

These are static colors, periodt. It's twenty colors living in the [Windows] system palette that an application simply cannot set — no cap, they're locked in place 🔒. And out of those twenty, sixteen of them are common across all color displays. iconic behavior honestly 💅

the receipts, if you wanna read the lore yourself:
