C SPECIFICATION
     void glColor3bv( const GLbyte *v )

     void glColor4ubv( const GLubyte *v	)
     void glColor4uiv( const GLuint *v )
     void glColor4usv( const GLushort *v )


PARAMETERS
     v	  Specifies a pointer to an array that contains	red, green, blue, and
	  (sometimes) alpha values.


DESCRIPTION
     The GL stores both	a current single-valued	color index and	a current
     four-valued RGBA color.  glColor sets a new four-valued RGBA color.
     glColor has two major variants:  glColor3 and glColor4.  glColor3

     variants specify new red, green, and blue values explicitly, and set the
     current alpha value to 1.0	implicitly.  glColor4 variants specify all
     four color	components explicitly.

     glColor3b,	glColor4b, glColor3s, glColor4s, glColor3i, and	glColor4i take
     three or four signed byte,	short, or long integers	as arguments.  When v
     is	appended to the	name, the color	commands can take a pointer to an
     array of such values.

     Current color values are stored in	floating-point format, with
     unspecified mantissa and exponent sizes.  Unsigned	integer	color
     components, when specified, are linearly mapped to	floating-point values
     such that the largest representable value maps to 1.0 (full intensity),
     and zero maps to 0.0 (zero	intensity).  Signed integer color components,
     when specified, are linearly mapped to floating-point values such that
     the most positive representable value maps	to 1.0,	and the	most negative
     representable value maps to -1.0.	Floating-point values are mapped
     directly.

     Neither floating-point nor	signed integer values are clamped to the range
     [0,1] before updating the current color.  However,	color components are
     clamped to	this range before they are interpolated	or written into	a
     color buffer.

NOTES
     The current color can be updated at any time.  In particular, glColor can
     be	called between a call to glBegin and the corresponding call to glEnd.
