Yes, it would be possible, but the question is how.  Especially in a
clean way.  It is apparent that there has to be some kind of
coordination between Booter, kernel and X server, but this kind of
coordination would be obsolete when we have true video support.  Too
much trouble for too little gain, I guess.

Well, there is a way kernel doesn't have to be involved, but I don't
like the idea of having Booter and X server agree upon a fixed set of
predefined colors to use.  What if we wanted to change one or more of
the colors in the set later?  We'd have to modify *both* Booter and X
server.  Furthermore, this means we would get strange colors when
Booter and X server are out of sync.

IMO, it's not worth doing...
