I just tried it here in diffrerent ways and I couldn't reproduce it. Did you 
get a backtrace? and Just a note bugs should really go in the bug system :)

I think I know what you mean, as far as I'm aware the parser ( that reads 
in .pov files ) can currently only handle rgb format colours. When you select 
a named colour from the lists KPM just handles the rgb equivalent. ( Look 
below the colours and you'll see the rgb values it will use ). The colour 
edit dialog you can select a named colour from is a standard part of KDE. So 
KPM is unaware of the names.

I think thats correct, I'm sure someone will correct me if its not.
