LightGreen is not the same as the old PaleGreen, but that's the only =
overlap between the old Pale and the new Light colors.
{LightGreen, PaleGreen}
ColorSetter /@ %
{RGBColor[0.88, 1, 0.88], RGBColor[0.596103, 0.984298, 0.596103]}
One could modify C:\Program Files\Wolfram =
Research\Mathematica\6.0\AddOns\LegacyPackages\Graphics, deleting colors=
=
and functions that moved to the Kernel. (That's what Wolfram should have=
=
done!)
