Recently mention of `list-colors-display' was added to several
places (docstrings, the Emacs manual). So likely most users will know
about `list-colors-display'.

with long lines, they are solvable.

Tooltips is a too restricted tool: can't copy&paste, can't isearch, etc.

Impractical because the most widespread format is #RRGGBB which
compactly encodes any of 16-million colors.
