Likewise, if I try BlueViolet. M-x customize-option foo Empty the value field and hit M-TAB. The colors are displayed in a crazy order, not alphabetically. And there is no color `Blue' in the list. But you can enter the text `Blue' anyway and choose Set for Session from the menu. So the completion must be lax, which is good. But why does `set-variable' say that `Blue' does not match type `color'? And it says the same thing for `BlueViolet', which is one of the names available using completion in Customize. And `set-variable' too should offer completion (enhancement request).

You want to do M-x set-variable foo RET "Blue" RET because set-variable reads entries in Lisp form, and foo needs to be a string. > Empty the value field and hit M-TAB. The colors are displayed in a > crazy order, not alphabetically. They are listed in the same order of list-colors-display. I've changed that to make it alphabetical.
