Perhaps /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt is it. There's a (masked) ebuild
x11-apps/rgb. My xorg.conf has:
RgbPath "/usr/lib/X11/rgb"
Alas, /usr/lib/X11/rgb doesn't exist here. The man page of "showrgb"
talks about a /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb file, which doesn't exist here,
neither.
strace -eopen showrgb
shows that it reads /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt directly. Hmm.

Perhaps it's easier to fix the application that fails to take hex color
codes?
