[PD] data structures - color?

By definition these are not the same, though they really look like it
and they show the same rgb-values when captured and tested in the
Gimp. Strange.

Surely, however as it currently is, we have at least 3 color schemes
in Pd and Gem: IEM colors, which nobody really understands, Gem
colors, which are lists of R G B values with R G and B going from 0 to
1, and data structure colors which are similar to Gem colors, but R G
and B go from 0 to 9 instead of from 0 to 1 and they can only be
integers and they are not lists but concatenated numbers.

So: 
Black Gem: 0 0 0
Black DS:  000
Red Gem:   1 0 0
Red DS:    900 (^= "9 * 1 0 0")
White Gem: 1 1 1
White DS:  999 (^= "9 * 1 1 1")

etc.

Ciao
