LIGHTRED mislabeled DARKRED

[clach04]

This is a very limited extract from #9 (comment)

LIGHTRED in:

micropython-nano-gui/gui/core/colors.py

Line 17 in 701149b

LIGHTRED = create_color(3, 140, 0, 0)

micropython-nano-gui/gui/core/colors.py

Line 32 in 701149b

LIGHTRED = SSD.rgb(140, 0, 0)

Are mislabeled, the color defined is actually a dark red, darker than the red that is declared in

micropython-nano-gui/gui/core/colors.py

Line 16 in 701149b

RED = create_color(2, 255, 0, 0)

Based onthe discussion in #9 sounds like there is concern about renaming.

What about the idea of adding DARKRED as an alias?

I..e.:

...
DARKRED = LIGHTRED = create_color(3, 140, 0, 0)
...
DARKRED = LIGHTRED = SSD.rgb(140, 0, 0)

So the color stays the same, but there would be a more accurate name.

If I were starting from scratch I would name many of these colors differently. Alas these names are used across multiple GUI's and even more demos and applications so I don't plan on making changes.

Users are encouraged to create their own aliases in their applications.

That makes sense @peterhinch , I'd already followed your sugestion 😄 I have some PIL/Pillow palettes set up with slightly tweaked names at clach04/cyd_clocks#40 (comment)

I have a proof of concept server that generates bitmaps which the micropython client simply pulls down and displays.
