swatch()

swatch(<theme>[, <width>])

A table of <theme>‘s colours: each colour’s name, a sample drawn in it, the colour, the standard colour a sixteen-colour client is sent, and how far it stands out from the background. A colour that stands out less than its use needs is marked with what it needs. A standard colour on its own shows client, since it looks however the reader’s client draws it. The table is drawn in the theme. <width> is the table’s width; see LAYOUT FUNCTIONS for leaving it out.
