While more experienced users can pretty much tell a color from its hex, new
users can't. Named colors do help with consistancy and new developers. Is
it possible to create custom named color lists (or other variables) at
design time?

Take a look at this code sample at ASPNet101.com and see if it gives you any
ideas toward what you need:

Sure, you can...
You can even take it much further... define not only color but font size,
borders, background...

And all this called CSS....
