How do I find the rgb values for colors defined by their name: e.g. blue, green, yellow etc.

​sure you can.  But a human needs to be involved in the substitution.
Create a list with all the standard color names converted to RGB values-
put the name, a comma and the triplet on each line.​

then do a search to find a matching triplet

if found, display the name. If not, present an answer color dialog showing
the un-named color, allowing the substitution of a near neighbor.
