I think the colors provided by xcolor are more than enough. But you can write a module and use the color definition syntax used in the latexcolors file (shipped with LyX) to support these. We could even include this to the distribution. -- Jürgen -- lyx-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

That's well possible. Support for this (in Qt) is rather new. -- Jürgen -- lyx-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

Is there a way to use xcolor svgnames in preamble in v2.5.0?
LyX loads xcolor before the user preamble, so yes.
Well, see the attached MWE: LyX 2.5.0 does not load the xcolor with
dvips names "always". It loads it only if a dvips name color is used in
the text.
Below is the LaTeX Code preview, ("BrickRed" is a dvips color name):
