Yes, as long as the color you want to reference exists in your current color map. Any place that you would normally use a color index value, you can use a color name enclosed in double quotes. An ASCII list of the valid color names is in the file “$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/database/rgb.txt”, and a graphical representation is also available”.
