If you don't want percentages set   -depth 8
As for color names, they are not all from the rgb.txt file but most are.
many are defined by the SVG defination.

Would be nice.  such an option should allow you to set colors as
   #hex_color    rgb(...) at delth 8 or at 16
and optionally turn on and off color names, if color matchs a name.

This would effect not only  "display" but also the   %[pixel:...]
format escape and probably  txt:  and  "identify" -identify info: output
too.   Default should be as it currently is.
