I'm going to guess (since it will solve all of the problems
you have mentioned so far) you might want the entire
library:

You should say what the errors are, not just where they happen.
Especially when they are inside a well tested routine, which everybody
knows that normally works.

Though in this case I would guess the problem is you did not download
error_message(), decomposedcolor() and pickcolorname(), which
fsc_color uses (as informed in its documentation).

Thanks, it should be the right thing I need but I couldn't run it, it
comes with the following errors:
Line 496: ok = Error_Message(/Traceback)
Line 538: decomposedState = DecomposedColor(DEPTH=theDepth)
Line 827: theColor = PickColorName(Filename=filename, _Extra=extra,
Cancel=cancelled, BREWER=brewer)
Line 843: theColor = PickColorName(theColor, Filename=filename,
_Extra=extra, Cancel=cancelled, BREWER=brewer)
Line 847: theColor = PickColorName(theColor, Filename=filename,
_Extra=extra, Cancel=cancelled, BREWER=brewer)

Not only has David been "supplying color information to the
IDL community for nearly 25 years", but he's also written FSC_COLOR,
it's like sliced bread only better. And that's a fact!

plot, indgen(9), background=fsc_color('white'),
color=fsc_color('black')

Get it here http://www.dfanning.com/documents/programs.html#FSC_COLOR

Do you suppose we have reached the point where there is,
like, *too* much information on the Internet?

As someone who has supplied color information to the
IDL community for nearly 25 years, I'm just, well, going
back to bed. :-(

Cheers,

David
