Thomas, If I understand correctly colour names come from a html / css standard - see here https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colors.asp
If you wanted you could make a table or index mapping names to hex values. Then of course there are set of names that are defined in tiddlywiki for particular elements, like "primary".
