[I apologize if this is a duplicate. M-x report-emacs-bug doesn't appear to have called my sendmail-send-it function, so my original report is likely to be rejected as spam from many recipients.] M-x set-cursor-color RET #9ef RET -> [no match] The same thing happens with set-foreground-color and set-background-color, all of which call facemenu-read-color, but not with set-face-foreground and set-face-background, which do not. All above mentioned functions do completing reads on color names, which is appropriate, but they should also accept #xxx, #xxxxxx, rgb:xx/xx/xx, etc. If you do M-: (set-cursor-color "#9ef"), it works, so this is clearly a case of the wrong kind of completing read being done. In facemenu-read-color, in the let statement, require-match is initialized this way: (require-match (not (eq window-system 'ns))) I believe it should always have the value nil so that people are free to enter colors in alternative ways.
