Personally I would like names that at least give the user some idea of what they might get. Matlab / octave have palette names like autumn (brown / red shades), cool (blues), hot (reds). The names need not be colours. We already have a set of such examples in the octave higher level graphics routines in bindings/octave/PLplot/ .
