Oops! Mea Culpa! I generally avoid posting to the list because as in this case, I almost always have done something in error and enough googling or just some time away usually yields the answer.
This time I had convinced myself that something bizarre must be happening along the lines of the array with same key thing... It turns out it is an error in my looping. As I am writing 4 columns of 25 fields on a card, I had 3 nested repeats and as I have done in the past I set up the loop wrong so that I was creating dupes directly multiplying some of the repeat vars instead of multiplying by a column and adding. I overlooked the repeated fields as dupes because the colors already had numerical variations like steelblue1, steelblue2, etc... It was tedious to track down because I was also using the screenmouseloc keying off those repeat variables to get the rgbcolor and those lines helped obscure the simple mistake... I am so sorry Mark, Joe, Richard, et al... I truly appreciate the time you took to answer. Hopefully, I will have some to contribute to others in the near future. I have been a long time hypercard user, although for the last several years I have been a realbasic user on the PC. I have discovered that there are a good number of problems that runrev can solve for me in much much less time. It is a love/hate relationship at times though.... :) Thanks again all!

Looking at the stack "color names reference", there are 37*15 tiles which is 555 and the colornames() yields 552. Their may be 3 dups in a few color runs. What are you looking at the show "2000+" names? Are the lines of your list sorted alphabetically or random? Are the names for each I unique? Could you please post the loop you are using to iterate and not getting the sensible answers?
