I tweaked the color to my liking, but used the
closest standard color name. In retrospect, I think
it was a wrong thing to do.

I am not sure. I don't know how many people use
or care about these, and I am not even sure these need fixing.
If I haven't overlooked something, they are basically harmless aside
from using a couple of extra color index slot, even that can be
overcome by re-mapping the builtin indeces.
These will become even easier once fdesign offers
the ability to map new colors or re-map existing colors.
What do you think ?
