>Is there a complete list of all the color names? 

What, you want to know if PapayaWhip is really a colour?

Swarm just uses the X11 colournames, which are in a file called
rgb.txt somewhere in the X server directories. Worse, each vendor's
server has a different list of colours (in theory, this was a way to
do gamma correction). As long as you stick to relatively basic names
you should be ok - anything more complicated and I suggest you switch
to the #rrggbb name syntax (or avoid names entirely).

On Linux systems, rgb.txt is often at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt
