You mean the missing enums RED and BROWN in your 
message?  That's two that you left out, not one.

The 'oddity' is of course BROWN in the dark
colours versus YELLOW in the light (octal 006 and
016), which is because of the weird way the DOS
pallette is traditionally set up.  But that's the
way DOS has been ever since the first PC colour 
adapter, the CGA.

You also deleted the commas on MAGENTA and 
LIGHTGRAY, thus rendering it uncompilable.  I
don't know why you did that.

If you're going to pick holes in header files, you
could at least quote the damn things properly...
