Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Inspired by @DHowett 's suggestion in #7929, I figured why not calculating all the color variants. Turns out there's a way described in wikipedia. So I implemented it and guess what, another 1KB is stripped from the product. Besides, it makes the color table less lengthy (less scary to read).

Validation Steps Performed

Tested passed. Manually tested.
