Description

We should spell check the names of colours that aren't found.

This might help users overcome issues like #272.

Python 3.10 has spell checking in a few cases including dict lookup, so does this happen already in 3.10? Colour names are looked up in pygame.colordict.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate pygame's colordict and Python 3.10's dict lookup spell checking to see if it already handles misspelled colour names. If not, implement a method to suggest closest colour names using a distance algorithm.
