.SH "COLOR RESOURCES"
125
If you have a color display and you're running at least X11R5, you may want

color-related resources for not only
142
but for every program which sets up its own color resources.
144
Versions of X earlier than X11R5 don't support the
146

147
resources in your personal resources file.
