Someone on this mailing-list showed met the simple way down to declare
a lot of colours at once. I wold like to do something with all those
colours. Is there a way to iterate the colours?

/colors <<
  /colorBlack   { 0   0   0   }
  /colorBlue    { 0   0   1   }
  /colorCyan    { 0   1   1   } % aqua
  /colorFuchsia { 1   0   1   }
  /colorGray    { .5  .5  .5  }
  /colorGreen   { 0   .5  0   }
  /colorIndigo  { .31 0   .5  }
  /colorLime    { 0   1   0   }
  /colorMaroon  { .5  0   0   }
  /colorNavy    { 0   0   .5  }
  /colorOlive   { .5  .5  0   }
  /colorOrange  { 1   .56 0   }
  /colorPurple  { .5  0   .5  }
  /colorRed     { 1   0   0   }
  /colorSilver  { .75 .75 .75 }
  /colorTeal    { 0   .5  .5  }
  /colorViolet  { .94 .5  .94  }
  /colorWhite   { 1   1   1   }
  /colorYellow  { 1   1   0   }
>> def
colors begin
