That's unrelated: Emacs transparently maps colors using their RGB
values, so any of the colors you see in tty-colors.el will be mapped
to the "native" colors whose names you don't like.

So those names are not very important.  Of course, if you want to
propose a change in xterm.el which would present more meaningful
"native" names, that's fine, too.
