Color names I have tried that work:
As text color: orange, pink, red, brown, silver, tan, magenta, cyan, lime, green, purple, gray, gold, aqua, chartreuse, blue
You can also use "dark" and "light" in front of colors, such as lightblue and darkblue.
Finally, you can use hexadecimal color numbers, if you know them. You should use a 3-byte number, with the first byte representing red, the second blue, and the third byte green. So for example, the color "FF0000" would be fully saturated red, like this: FF0000, and CC00CC should be a nice purple: CC00CC.
You can use any 3-byte hex number you want, though so-called "web-safe" colors will be comprised of byte values 00, 33, 66, 99, CC, and FF only. If you do the math, you will see that this results in 216 possible color values, from 000000 (black) to FFFFFF (white).
