how can one create a new color?

I create a new color (that is, a new RGB setting). How can one save it as a new color so that I do not need to type RGB each time?

Read about colormap.

You can create a function that returns the rgb triple. There are also some approaches involving a class with static methods that would allow you to pack multiple items in one classdef

Unfortunately there is no way to add a new single letter color code such as 'r', no way to extend those to say that 'e' is 'emerald' for example: those are built in several places in the software.
