You can get the name from KnownColor. Try like below

        string name = "Unknown";
        foreach (KnownColor kc in Enum.GetValues(typeof(KnownColor)))
        {
            Color known = Color.FromKnownColor(kc);
            if (Color.FromArgb(255,255,140,0).ToArgb() == known.ToArgb())
            {
                label1.Text = known.Name;
                break;
            }
        }

Here I just hard code your value and return the name in label named 'label1'.
