I wasn't involved in the original discussion, but I have a vague recollection from seeing the emails go by that this was intentional: the theory was clients are not going to use the actual colour you specify as they will want to pick something that goes with their branding + background + event display design, so by using names they could then choose their "version" of the colour that was closest in spirit to the name given.

Not sure I agree with this reasoning, but I think that was the idea.

Neil.
