Honestly, a colour picker is the last piece of software you should be translating names for. Even everyday colour names don't have a direct translation. The line between "blue" and "green" is very slightly different than the line between "bleu" and "vert", and the same goes for any other two languages. If you're serious about your colour picker accuracy and you want to localize to another language, it would actually be more correct to have a completely different set of colour values, rather than trying to translate them. (Though "Liquid Nyquil" may be perceived the same across languages. I haven't seen any studies on that one)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
