This is probably of no help to the problem, but I just wanted to mention a trick that I discovered long time ago for basic colors. One day I was trying to tell a color wheel in some program I was using that I wanted the color white, not some number that meant nothing to me; I wanted plain 'white.' In frustration I just typed 'white' in the box that was expecting a number, et voilà! I got pure white! In later work I discovered that it only works for basic colors. I have a house that is painted 'pale flowers,' the name of a paint color sold by Lowes. If I typed that in the box I'm sure it might cause my computer screen to melt. And I don't know where the translation to a number happens; in the program I'm running? In Xfce4? I don't know. I also don't know the extent of the colors that are available. Maybe there's a list somewhere with the actual number that a given text entry gets translated to.
