That is deliberate. The number of colors in use is limited, typically
to 256. A shorter list of color names encourages sharing of colors
between applications.
BTW the #RGB style of color specification is deprecated. Numeric
specification of colors should be done with something like rgb:.
See the man page for XParseColor or a book on X11 such as the Xlib
Programming Manual.
