Most users don't speak hex. I don't want to parse hex every time I look
at my face definitions.

That's the point! Users should be able to define their own favorite
colors! Emacs only has to provide a way to do it!

None of that will change, but again you're not saying anything to
convince me we don't need custom names.

I've had that feeling before and it lasts until the first bug report :)

Colors have no purpose in Emacs, generally speaking. Faces are what
actually gets used and has a purpose. So custom color names are really
a way to make defining faces easier and more readable.
