[LSC] colors

[Michael Heidemann]

Our first result will be for the naming:

name:
Should not contain blanks. Blanks are substituted by Underscores. To 
make it better readable in Programs it can be shown to the user with the 
underscore substituted by blanks.
<http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&p=eL4jU.&search=abbreviation>Abbreviations 
should be avoided ("Dark" instead of "Drk").
Words should be separated by underscores ("Dark_Red" instead of "DarkRed").
Is case insensitive.
Should not exceed 255 characters.
This limitations are only for the definition in LDConfig.ldr.

Any other thoughts or additions?
