I totally agree. I just mentioned the X11 colors because they've been
around and fairly well supported for eons, even if they haven't been
official.

Frankly, I don't know why people want to use names in the first place,
especially if they're doing any graphics as part of the design or
looking for appropriate complementary colors. Numeric values are the
only way to go, AFAIC.
