Colour names in popular book do not work #272

In Computer Coding Python Games for Kids there is a large 2 page list of all colors you can use in pgzero with there names to use in pgzero. The only problem is most of the names do not work at all in pgzero when it asks you to try them. I don't know again if this is the publisher writing a book and never trying it. Or if this did work on older versions. This was my whole adventure with this. Should be super simple but it also may or may not work and ends up being incredibly frustrating.
