Actually, it first looks in the home directory, and only then in
data-directory.  David, do you happen to have an rgb.txt in your home
directory?  (Try "C-x C-f ~/rgb.txt RET".)  If you do, could it be the
culprit?

Also, can you try, in "emacs -Q", to type this:

  M-: (length (x-load-color-file "c:/gnu/emacs/etc/rgb.txt")) RET

and tell the result?
