I don't really understand what you are asking for.

I'm going to guess it is to do with the output of M-x list-colors-display?
Those are just the standard named X colours.
(See e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11_color_names)
So we won't be adding any entries to that list.

But you can use whatever colour you want for faces, whether or not the
colour has a name. Just use the hex code directly.
