A longer list of color used to be included in the CSS specification.
We took them out since we coudn't find a single person who liked the
list of color names. Alas, we havn't been able to come up with a bette
alternative yet. The last CSS spec that had it is is from May 5, 1996
An excellent list is in the color source for dvips.
The colordvi.tex source code contains the Pantone [tm] color code;
the color.pro header contains the CMYK values.
The first you can find at
ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/systems/knuth/local/lib/colordvi.tex
The second is in the dvips distribution but I've put a copy at
ftp://ftp.ucc.ie/pub/tex/color.pro
You don't say which suite of color names you are looking for.
These define the 64 colors in the Crayola palette. Doubtless
there are many others (Microsoft, X Window, Mac, etc).
