Bug? After editing ColorPalette, colors appear as missing tiddlers.

[Raphael]

After changing the ColorPalette tiddler, all color names written as
WikiWords appeared as "Missing" tiddlers. I fixed this by prefixing
the names with a tilde in ColorPalette.
Shouldn't the color names in the ColorPalette tiddler be prefixed by a
tilde per default?
Im using the current tiddlywiki version.

Do you have time to do a little test? Start with an unmodified
TiddlyWiki and view the ColorPalette rather than editing it.
It should say "built-in shadow tiddler" above the contents. See if
most of the color names are blue and point to missing tiddlers.
Those are the results I get with an unmodified copy of version 2.5.3.
In other words, changing isn't the cause. It's simply the fact that
colors look like tiddler names and have no actual tiddlers.

How brilliantly simple. (You can also put {{{ }}} around the contents
of ColorPalette, to mark it as preformatted code.) Surprisingly,
color lookup works even with the tildes.

Tag ColorPalette with "excludeMissing" and gone they are from the
missing-list.

Also, if you want a visual aid for playing with the ColorPalette, I
highly recommend taking a look at:

I agree that's probably the best solution.
I'm wary of adding escaping tildes to the core's shadow tiddlers, as
that introduces some complexity and should be considered a last resort.
