Gcolor2 does not include the path /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt in the locations it looks for rgb info. This is where x11-apps/rgb installs the rgb.txt file. I don't know if this bug occurs using X11R6.9 since I only run X11R7.0.
Created attachment 76801 [details, diff] Add /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt to path checking
Created attachment 76803 [details] gcolor2-0.4-r2.ebuild Updated ebuild including patch
I used the filename modular-rgb.patch for the patch in the ebuild, but you can change it to whatever you like.

bumped to -r2, test and report back
Cool, works fine now... arches, please stabilize -r2; without this fix, you can't use RGB color names at all w/ modular X - which is a major issue for application with the sole purpose of selecting colors :) To test, pick up a random color name from /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt, type it into the 'Color name' box, press enter and watch the result *g*
x86 chooses like a charm
Stable on ppc
ppc64 stable last arch -> marking as FIXED
