For now, colors.py uses the 16 html color names. Lime is correctly 00ff00 according to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors#HTML_color_names

We may in future wish to extend the colors, but if we do it would be a rather large job for translators.

I see the point now. "Ordinary" color lime and the web color lime used in NVDA are quite different colors indeed. In order to inform translators about this not so obvious fact, I suggest that the translators' comment in colors.py for color lime should reflect this e.g. like:
[```

Translators: The web color lime.

#The web color lime is a pure, bright green color.

For more info see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_%28color%29#Web_color_.22lime.22_.28X11_Green.29

A comment like that would ensure that "lime" did not get mistranslated any more. Not only Hungarian translation contains this mistake (i.e. translating "lime" in its original sense), but e.g. French also seems to have it, and maybe others too.

Changes:
Changed title from "The RGB triplet of color lime is incorrect in colors.py" to "Please point out the significant difference between the ordinary color lime and the web color lime in the translators' comment for lime in colors.py so that "lime" does not get mistranslated"

We propose renaming green to dark green and lime to green. This brings it more in line with the current situation for red and blue.

In [e20df41]:

Rename the color Lime to Green and Green to Dark green. This should stop some confusion and brings green in line with the way red and blue are labeled.. Fixes #2749
