Actually the "colornames" property has been there since day one, but RR 
has always hidden it. You can set colors by name via the message box or 
script though. I haven't looked at Hugh's stack yet, but it sounds like 
he's making use of that.

Completely aside: I often use the colornames when I want to generate 
random input for testing, or assemble a random string. "get any 
<char|line|word> of the colornames" is a quick way to do that when you 
just need a big list of text as a source. The colornames is really long, 
so there are lots of lines available.
