ColorHelper
ColorHelper creates many procedures that output lists to make it a
little easier to play around with the Extended Colors of Logo. With 138
colors to choose from, sometimes it can be difficult to decide which one
to use. 
Suppose you want a green color but not the standard green. You can do PICK GREENS to get a random choice of 19 shades of green. ColorHelper defines 10 different shade groups to pick from. If you need a dark color, you can get one with PICK DARKS. ColorHelper defines 7 intensity groups (based on the prefix of the color name).
You can always pick a color with PICK COLORS to get a random choice of the 138 Extended Colors.
And you can always use the full range of colors by using the RGB triplet representation.
An example demonstration package called ColorPlay is available for download. It uses ColorHelper to show the colors in a variety of ways… simple displays, optical illusions, animations and a puzzle.
ColorHelper.lgo
; This file creates many different lists to work the colors in Logo 4
; The built-in COLORS list is in alphabetical order
; The Toolbox Colors panel is in gradient groupings by shades
; The sequence of color indexes uses 0-15 for backward compatibility followed by the rest of the colors in alphabetical order
; COLORS outputs the list of color names in alphabetical order (built-in command).
; COLORSN outputs the companion list of indexes for COLORS.
; COLORSI outputs the list of color names in the index number order.
; COLORSIN outputs the companion list of index numbers for COLORSI. (silly, but consistent)
; COLORSG outputs the list of color names in the gradient grouping as they are appear in the Toolbox/Colors panel.
; COLORSGN outputs the companion list of index numbers for COLORSG
; SHADE outputs the list of each shade name (PINK, RED, etc.)
; SHADEN outputs the companion list of index numbers for SHADE
; SHADES outputs the list of names of each shade list (PINKS, REDS, etc.)
; <shade>S outputs the list of color names for that shade
; <shade>SN outputs the companion list of index numbers for <shade>S
;
; INTENSITY outputs the list of intensity prefixes (DARK, DEEP, DIM, etc.)
; INTENSITIES outputs the list of names of each intensity list (DARKS, DEEPS, etc.)
; <intensity>S outputs the list of color names for that intensity
; <intensity>SN outputs the companion list of index numbers for <intensity>S
