\section1 Predefined Colors
- There are 20 predefined QColors: Qt::white, Qt::black,
- Qt::red, Qt::darkRed, Qt::green, Qt::darkGreen, Qt::blue,
- Qt::darkBlue, Qt::cyan, Qt::darkCyan, Qt::magenta,
- Qt::darkMagenta, Qt::yellow, Qt::darkYellow, Qt::gray,
- Qt::darkGray, Qt::lightGray, Qt::color0, Qt::color1, and
- Qt::transparent.
+ There are 20 predefined QColors described by the Qt::GlobalColor enum,
+ including black, white, primary and secondary colors, darker versions
+ of these colors and three shades of gray. QColor also recognizes a
+ variety of color names; the static colorNames() function returns a
+ QStringList color names that QColor knows about.

- QColor provides the static colorNames() function which returns a
- QStringList containing the color names Qt knows about.
+ Additionally, the Qt::color0, Qt::color1 and Qt::transparent colors
+ are used for special purposes.
- The colors Qt::color0 (zero pixel value) and Qt::color1 (non-zero
- pixel value) are special colors for drawing in QBitmaps. Painting with
- Qt::color0 sets the bitmap bits to 0 (transparent, i.e. background), and
- painting with Qt::color1 sets the bits to 1 (opaque, i.e. foreground).

+ sets the bitmap bits to 0 (transparent; i.e., background), and painting
+ with Qt::color1 sets the bits to 1 (opaque; i.e., foreground).

+ Qt::transparent is used to indicate a transparent pixel. When painting
+ with this value, a pixel value will be used that is appropriate for the
+ underlying pixel format in use.
