I see. Since it's in kdelibs4support, I don't think we should change the C++ code there.

I rewrote the shell line because I found it difficult to read. I thought removing color with spaces was a bug but I should have looked at the code using those strings. The awk script can be adjusted to skip names with spaces by only outputting the name if there are exactly 4 fields (a name with a space would result in 5 fields). This can be done like this:

    awk '$1 ~ "[0-9]+" && $4 !~ "gr[ae]y" && NF == 4 { print $4 }' kdeui/rgb.txt

Use whichever version you prefer, I'd just ask adding a comment on top of the shell code explaining those strings are used by KColorTable::readNamedColor(), from src/kdeui/kcolordialog.cpp.
