+Multiple clients that request the same effective RGB value can be assigned

+subsets of masks with each pixel value,
+ncolors * %2 sup (nreds+ngreens+nblues)% distinct pixel values can be produced.
+All of these are allocated by the request.
+However, in the
+colormap, there are only ncolors * %2 sup nreds% independent red entries,
+ncolors * %2 sup ngreens% independent green entries,
+and ncolors * %2 sup nblues% independent blue entries.
+This is true even for
+.ZN PseudoColor .
+When the colormap entry of a pixel
+value is changed (using
+.ZN XStoreColors ,
+.ZN XStoreColor ,
+or
+.ZN XStoreNamedColor ),
+the pixel is decomposed according to the masks,
+and the corresponding independent entries are updated.
+.ZN XAllocColorPlanes
+returns nonzero if it succeeded or zero if it failed.
+.LP
+.ZN XAllocColorPlanes
+can generate
+.ZN BadColor
+and
+.ZN BadValue
+errors.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XFreeColors
+function frees the cells represented by pixels whose values are in the
+pixels array.
+The planes argument should not have any bits set to 1 in common with any of the
+pixels.
+The set of all pixels is produced by ORing together subsets of
+the planes argument with the pixels.
+The request frees all of these pixels that
+were allocated by the client (using
+.IN XAllocColor
+.IN XAllocNamedColor
+.IN XAllocColorCells
+.IN XAllocColorPlanes
+.ZN XAllocColor ,
+.ZN XAllocNamedColor ,
+.ZN XAllocColorCells ,
+and
+.ZN XAllocColorPlanes ).
+Note that freeing an
+individual pixel obtained from
+.ZN XAllocColorPlanes
+may not actually allow
+it to be reused until all of its related pixels are also freed.
+Similarly,
+a read-only entry is not actually freed until it has been freed by all clients,
+and if a client allocates the same read-only entry multiple times,
+it must free the entry that many times before the entry is actually freed.
+.LP
+All specified pixels that are allocated by the client in the colormap are
+freed, even if one or more pixels produce an error.
+If a specified pixel is not a valid index into the colormap, a
+.ZN BadValue
+error results.
+If a specified pixel is not allocated by the
+client (that is, is unallocated or is only allocated by another client)
+or if the colormap was created with all entries writable (by passing
+.ZN AllocAll
+to
+.ZN XCreateColormap ),
+a
+.ZN BadAccess
+error results.
+If more than one pixel is in error,
+the one that gets reported is arbitrary.
+.LP
+.ZN XFreeColors
+can generate
+.ZN BadAccess ,
+.ZN BadColor ,
+and
+.ZN BadValue
+errors.
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadAccess
+A client attempted
+to free a color map entry that it did not already allocate.
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadAccess
+A client attempted
+to store into a read-only color map entry.
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadColor
+A value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined Colormap.
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadValue
+Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request.
+Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined
+by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a set of
+alternatives can generate this error.
