You may want to have a look at the following from wmii:

     lib/libstuff/x11/colors/parsecolor.c
     lib/libstuff/x11/colors/xftcolor.c
     lib/libstuff/x11/xft.c

There's really no good way to deal with colormaps in X11 except
using RENDER everywhere, so it will always come down to a hack,
in my opinion.

all those other people who don’t see things as clearly as you do.  We
have to guard carefully against it.
