I think it would be ridiculous for Emacs to go on a color naming spree.
There is already a number of lists of standard color names.
There's one for X11, there's one for html, I'm sure there are lots more.
If you think you have a legitimate name for a new color,
approach one of the groups that already has a list.
Having a color named "army green" with different rbg values will help
no one.
BTW, which army?
