You could use a Tcl/Tk script to do it. Put the code below in an executable 
file, run it, then double click on the colour names in the list box. Drag 
with the middle mouse button to scroll the list.

#!/usr/bin/wish

pack [listbox .colours]
set h [open /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt]
while {[gets $h l] >= 0} { .colours insert end [lrange $l 3 end]}
close $h
bind .colours <Double-Button-1> {
    .colours configure -background [selection get]
}
