If you've ever looked at the demos that come with OW2.0 you'll see one
called Color Names. This is actually a helpful utility that displays
many colors along with their names.  The only thing I dislike about it
is that there is no order to the colors.

I did try something that did not change the order.  In $OPENWINHOME/lib
are the files rgb.txt, rgb.dir, and rgb.pag.  I thought maybe this had
something to do with it.  So, I sorted rgb.txt the way I wanted. I then
found $OPENWINHOME/bin/bldrgb, a script that works with
$OPENWINHOME/bin/rgb to rebuild the rgb.pag and rgb.dir databases.
After saving the original rgb.* files I ran bldrgb and the databases
were rebuilt.  I exited openwindows and started it up again.  The order
of the colors in Color Names did not change.

Is there a way to change the order of the colors?
