Mauricio, have you seen any evidence? This seems like FUD to me. The 16 (and indeed 156)-colour gamut is ancient and well-established. I can't imagine a team developing a device that would use the standard keywords and then decide on not following the rest of the standard. Apart from screen differences (we have a client who once complained strongly about our excessive use of pink - #b5b7b9 - on their site), I believe that the actual precise rgb values of these keywords are mapped and static. It'd be good to get an example of that not being the case before concluding that the whole system is liable.
