emacs -Q
Eval this: (defcustom foo "Red" "..." :type 'color)
M-x set-variable foo RET Blue RET
gives error "Value `Blue' does not match type color of foo". Likewise,
if I try BlueViolet.
M-x customize-option foo
Empty the value field and hit M-TAB. The colors are displayed in a
crazy order, not alphabetically. And there is no color `Blue' in the
list. But you can enter the text `Blue' anyway and choose Set for
Session from the menu. So the completion must be lax, which is
good.
But why does `set-variable' say that `Blue' does not match type
`color'? And it says the same thing for `BlueViolet', which is one of
the names available using completion in Customize.
And `set-variable' too should offer completion (enhancement request).
