rgb.txt missing in X?

I am trying to change some colors in urxvt using color names, but even if I choose black it tells me that it couldn't parse "black" and it is using pink instead.

Anyone know where rgb.txt went missing?

rgb.txt is deprecated: http://people.csail.mit.edu/jaffer/Color/Resene-X11

Have you tried using hex numbers like #222222?

What is replacing rgb.txt? Will I have to use hex codes from now on? *confused*

I'm using .Xdefaults to set urxvt's color scheme and that's working fine. I don't know if it matters that I've been starting the colors with capital letters (e.g., Black instead of black) My .Xdefaults, in case it's of use:

URxvt*transparent:true
URxvt*scrollBar:true
URxvt*scrollColor:Black
URxvt*scrollstyle:plain
URxvt*borderLess:false
URxvt*foreground:Black
URxvt*background:White
