Tk recognises a lot of colour names, as documented at, say, https://www.tcl-lang.org/man/tcl9.0/TkCmd/colors.html Is it possible to get a list of them?
 I guess I could hack it out of one of the source files, but I'd hope to be able to get it in a cleaner fashion.

What sort of format do you want? Are there others that this page doesn't document?
I displayed the above link in FF, and then did a click, move pointer to end, shift click, copy, paste into my editor, and made a text file, a:/colors.txt. There were 8360 lines, looking like:
alice blue

240

248

255
AliceBlue

240

248

255
...
YellowGreen

154

205

50
So, each color took up 11 lines, and multi-word names appeared on a single line. So, exactly 760 colors on that page.
Very easy to process with a small tcl script. I didn't look at the system specific colors however.
