The ImageJ 1.52p6 daily build adds support for these three colors. The following example macro displays all 13 named colors.

-wayne

  colors = newArray("black", "blue", "cyan", "darkGray",
     "gray", "green", "lightGray", "magenta", "orange",
     "pink", "red", "white", "yellow");
  width = 300;
  height = 400;
  n = colors.length;
  x = 15;
  y = 15;
  w = 0.9*width;
  h = height/n;
  inc = height/(n+1);
  newImage("Colors", "RGB black", width, height, 1);
  run("Add...", "value=90");
  setFont("SanSerif", 16, "bold antialiased")
  for (i=0; i<n; i++) {
     setColor(colors[i]);
     fillRect(x, y, w, h);
     setColor("white");
     drawString(colors[i], x+5, y+20);
     y += inc;
  }
