you have to create an associative-array that maps value => colorname (or inverse). fill this array with the data of this table: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors

then you can lookup the color names, that are available in CSS too. additionally you can add more, own, colornames

Are you suppose that every color has its own name?
It's 16^6>16.7 millions.

So, it seems to be impossible.
But you may create your own database (format rgb => human-readable)
