The X11 color bears little relationship to the color on the actual flag; it seems instead to be a proprietary paint color:

However, these are color names which were already widespread by 1996 and eventually grandfathered in due to web compat; we can't therefore change the colors or change the names. We can deprecate them, and we can explain where the names come from if that helps.
