I get these results on the linux console using the default 8-color list
(`tty-standard-colors'):

   (tty-color-translate "lightred")
   => nil
   (tty-color-translate "lightblue")
   => 6
   (tty-color-translate "salmon")        ; This is basically a light red
   => 3

Looking at the code, I see the problem is that there's no entry for
"lightred" in `color-name-rgb-alist', so it never even gets as far as
trying to find a match (it has no RGB values to match).

On the PC, I guess it works because there's an explicit entry in
tty-defined-color-alist for it.

Note that on an 8-color display, both "salmon" and "lightgreen" get
reduced to yellow (which makes sense).
