Thanks.  According to MDN these are the only non-grey/gray aliases.
Maybe they weren't on whatever list I started with for that reason.

Yes, I wasn't aware of this list from shr.  It seems to me that shr
ought to use exactly the CSS colors, so the lists can be shared.
Though, I recommend contacting Lars before doing anything.

It seems so but I've mostly forgotten whatever I knew about this area.

What I do remember is checking my original algorithm against the one Eli
suggested, by comparing all the CSS named colors with their backgrounds;
and concluding that the one Eli suggested (built in to Emacs) was just
as good.  So perhaps shr is doing too much work here as well.
