Then, check whether it's well configured in /etc/X11/XF86Config
(assuming you're using a XFree X server). There should be a section
such as:

Section "Files"
        RgbPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
        ...
EndSection

(the extension should not be provided, because it can be .txt or .db).
Which makes me think that perhaps the file format of rgb.txt is more
precise.  My file has spaces between (or after) numbers, and two
tabulations before the name:

...
255 250 250^I^Isnow
248 248 255^I^Ighost white
...
252 252 252 ^I^Igrey99
255 255 255 ^I^Igray100
255 255 255 ^I^Igrey100
...

You may check quickly with: cat -t /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt
