If you've installed the xorg-x11-libs-data package, you'll find the list in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt If you haven't installed that package, and don't want to, I'm sure a google for rgb.txt will uncover a copy or two. Another option if you've installed the xorg-x11-bin package is to run the showrgb command. Unless you can't resist the idea of requesting a foreground such as PapayaWhip, you can also specify colours numerically using the standard X11 syntax, e.g. "rgb:c0/00/f0", or "#c000f0". "man X", then search for "COLOR NAMES", for more extensive info.
