  Few colors are defined by default (see documentation page 4). To use others, 
you must first define them (today, use the syntax of the standard `color'
package, not the one of PSTricks - for that, load the `pstcol' package in
place of `pstricks').

  The "usenames" loading option allow you to load the definition of a set of
useful color names (for the "dvips" driver, the file used is "dvipsnam.def").

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[dvips,usenames]{pstcol}

\definecolor{Pink}{rgb}{1.,0.75,0.8}

\pagestyle{empty}

\begin{document}

\begin{pspicture}(5,5)
  % Color "Pink" explicitely defined
  \psframe[fillstyle=solid,fillcolor=Pink](5,5)
  % Color "Aquamarine" defined in the file dvipsnam.def
  \pscircle[fillstyle=solid,fillcolor=Aquamarine](3,3){1} 
\end{pspicture}

\end{document}
