about Vim's builtin color names -- seeing a dff on X11 ver, vs. Win ver in 1 color

I was noticing the difference in colors when I edited on Windows
vs. Editing over X.

Most of the problem was they were using 2 very different version
of a color scheme.....

After getting them 'on the same page', so to speak, most of the colors
look pretty close if not the same,

One color stands out as different -- and I was wonder if there
was a File on Windows distrib, that one might change to tweak the
colors ... if not, then I think I may have bumped into a minor bug
in the windows version (if so, I more likely blame myself! ;-) )...

On X11, it's being AFAICT, correctly --

The color is "Light Blue". I measured color in both by
doing a screen snapshot then looking at that in a program
that can sample colors w/an eyedrop.

The vim running under X11 a color value of
0xADD8E6 - which is also the value on the wikipedia page of
colors @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors.

So I am thinkin, that's the correct value.

On Windows, what I'm seeing for lightblue
is A0A0FF, which corresponds to no X11 colors, but does
correspond to a value of 10/16, 10/16/ 16/16 or 5/8,5/8,1.

Which wouldn't even be the closed value to the X11 value
if it had been rounded to the nearest 16'th or 8th.


So is there a file I can change to fix that, or is it builtin
to vim?

If it is builtin -- why would it use a different value for the
Gvim on Windows vs. the Gvim on X...? (Note, both of these were
displayed on the same monitor, so it wasn't a monitor diff.

Ideas/info?

Thanks much!

Linda
