The html palette contains CamelCased color names, like MintCream, AliceBlue or GhostWhite: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/extras/source/palettes/html.soc As far as I see, these names are not saved to html/ODF/OOXML files as strings, only the hex codes of the color are used. So these names seem to serve only as an identifier to the user. I'd like to ask to change these to proper English: Mint Cream, Alice Blue or Ghost White seem easier to read to me.
I do not support this request. The names in the HTML-palette are designed to meet the official HTML color names. https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_names.asp
HTML is defined as this, see also bug 104048 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 104048 ***

But does this also mean that we should not translate them either? That would cause quite a bit of divergence from that list as well in case of a translated UI.
I personally would not translate them, but it is a decision of the local team.

But the names as 'keywords' should probably be left intact and _not_ translated to be standards compliant with our filter handling to assure the correct sRGB hex gets assigned when keyword is parsed. =-ref-= https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/types.html#ColorKeywords https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-color/#svg-color
