/usr/share/X11/rgb.txt has 782 names on my system. There are a fair
number of duplicate RGB triples for say "gray50" and "grey50", but it's
still 500+ unique, 110 colorless grays (r==g && r==b) and 410 colors
(some difference between r, g, and b). It includes the entirety of the
HTML 1.0 "Web Safe Colors", a 6 bit per channel / 216 total color space.
That seems like it covers your basic color needs and limits you to
#defines only for your extra spot colors.

wikipedia should have the whole list if you don't have an rgb.txt file
