It aligns differently, but the result should be identical.  I will
take a look.

Did this ever work?  Emacs always had platform-specific colors besides
those in rgb.txt, I don't think this is something new.

They are meaningless and cannot be set by Emacs.  IOW, they are
"read-only", as far as Emacs is concerned.  Exposing them to users
would be confusing.
