The colors are indeed carelessly listed.
What bothers me the most is that some colors have multiple entries whereas
others don't. Here is part of my showrgb output:

Note that "snow" appears once, "ghostwhite" appears twice as "ghost white"
and "GhostWhite", and "slategray" apperas four times as "slate gray", "SlateGrey", and then once more "slate grey", and "SlateGrey".

255 250 250 snow

... ...

Rather, IMHO there should be only one entry for each color like

255 250 250 snow
248 248 255 ghost white
245 245 245 white smoke
220 220 220 gainsboro
255 250 240 floral white
... ...

Also, the entries should be displayed in alphabetical order (why not)?

I suggest that the showrgb database be modified to make more sense.
