I'd prefer not to make such a significant change in tty-color-standard-values before the release. The current scheme worked well for several 21.x releases, and I don't think we should make radical changes in it now, before we've seen the 256-color xterm support in a released Emacs. Let's wait until after the release. But I think the info above means that we should leave color-name-rgb-alist alone, since it already uses the scheme James says is now standard in X, and changing it now just to change it back for the next release sounds silly.
