...and it can pass TRUE as the "best_match" argument to
"gdk_colormap_alloc_color()", so that if it can't find an exact match,
it can try to find an "existing" color (presumably meaning one it's
already allocated) that's "good enough".  After all, this isn't
Photoshop or the GIMP - an exact match would be *nice*, but it might not
be *necessary*.
