GstarCAD uses Index colors as a standard. Only the first seven colors have a standard color name: 1 Red, 2 Yellow, 3 Green, 4 Cyan, 5 Blue, 6 Magenta, 7 White/Black.
True colors cover over 16 million colors by 24-bit color definitions and use the RGB or HSL color model.
There are a few Pantone color books available in this program. You can import other colors like the DIC color guide or RAL color sets. You can also import user-defined color books.
