Hi @docwhat,
first of all, thanks for reporting and taking the time to inspect the issue. I have looked into this, and saw that other sources have the same 'issue'. So, although I do not know why this is the case, it does not really seem to be wrong. We see the same issue in http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Xterm256_color_names_for_console_Vim for example.
This site for example, https://www.rapidtables.com/web/color/RGB_Color.html, lists only 155 color name codes for RGB. Maybe this is where the limitation in my 256 list originates from.

It’s a bug if the string is in the list twice. Some one messed.

The original colors came from X11: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11_color_names

I’m guessing someone manually did the translation and messed up.

I have investigated further. There seem to be other problems as well.
For now, I have put out an errata warning. I have to fix this asap.

Assuming this script is accurate, you could use it to recalculate the colors from the Wikipedia article:
