Upgrading to raring has had a weird effect on gvim: the meaning of "green" in highlight statements has changed, from #00FF00 to #008000. "blue" is still #0000FF and red is still #FF0000, but "green" is half as bright. "green1" remains #00FF00.
Green is the only colour I've noticed, and I've checked a few with a colour picker; f.ex. "dark slate grey" is still what rgb.txt says it is, #2F4F4F.
/usr/share/X11/rgb.txt still has "0 255 0 green".
I've tried changing colour schemes, and other system settings, but nothing affects the colours gvim uses. I heavily tweak stuff using QtCurve, but if I log on to a completely uncustomized user, gvim's green is still dim. Same with the gvim from the repos, 7.3.547, or my own compiled from source version.
If I use the colour picker in a KDE app, such as kate or konsole, and use the "named colours" selection, "green" is still #00FF00, aka 0 255 0.
(I happen to use green a lot, a habit gained in the days of poor quality CGA monitors; because green is the middle phosphor of R G and B, using green would be less blurry.)
Now I can easily work around this by replacing "green" with #00FF00, or "green1", but it's strange.
