Small color documentation clarification/improvements:
o Added some references to the FLTK colormap diagram in obvious places (Fl_Color docs) o Added info regarding the 'reserved' colors o Added quotes to clarify RGBI description: "RGB" and "I" git-svn-id: file:///fltk/svn/fltk/branches/branch-1.3@9856 ea41ed52-d2ee-0310-a9c1-e6b18d33e121

\section drawing_colors Colors
FLTK manages colors as 32-bit unsigned integers, encoded as RGBI.
-When the RGB bytes are non-zero, the value is treated as RGB.
-If these bytes are zero, the I byte will be used as an index
-into the colormap.
+When the "RGB" bytes are non-zero, the value is treated as RGB.
+If these bytes are zero, the "I" byte will be used as an index
+into the colormap. Colors with both RGB set and an index >0
+are reserved for special use.
-Values from 0 to 255, i.e. the I index value, represent
+Values from 0 to 255, i.e. the "I" index value, represent
colors from the FLTK 1.3.x standard colormap
and are allocated as needed on screens without TrueColor support.
