Not really. First of all: why are you saying you have a fixed palette?  
Currently you can choose colors virtually continuously. There is no  
deterministic way to map a (continuous) color to a color name, because  
there's only a finite (very limited) number of color names.

If you can figure out a set of rules for the few colors that you  
personally you will always use and get names for them, you could do  
this by adding condition tags to the template. Something like this  
(though probably even more complicated):

<$color.redComponent<0.3?>
<$color.greenComponent<0.3?>
<$color.blueComponent<0.3?>
black
<?$color.blueComponent<0.6?>
dark blue
<?$color.blueComponent?>
blue
</$color. blueComponent?>
<?$color.greenComponent<0.6?>
...
<?$color.greenComponent?>
...
</$color.greenComponent?>
<?$color.redComponent<0.6?>
...
<?$color.redComponent?>
...
</$color. redComponent?>
