ColorPalette: Window-Eyes screen reader not speaking color names

Description (last modified by )
When focus on a cell in the ColorPalette, Window-Eyes 6.1f (beta) speaks "cell" but not the color name.
JAWS 9 (beta) speaks the color names correctly. I can not see anything wrong with the hierarchy and ARIA roles. Submitting so we can determine if this is a Window-Eyes bug or if there is something we can change in the widget.

I confirm the same behavior on Window-Eyes 6.1 and FireFox? 2.0.0.7: Window-Eyes speaks "cell" but not the color name.

The role of each color block is "cell", the name is the color name but the value is empty. I'm not sure how I can specify the value. Each color block is implemented as an <img> tag but the source is a blank.gif. The color is coming via CSS as a background image with alt and title attributes specifying the color.

Window-Eyes will not be addressing ARIA until after version 7.0 so moving this to 1.3

since this relies on a change to window-eyes, moving to future

window-eyes is up to version 9.x now, so I'm going to assume this is working as expected given the lack of comments in 5+ years.
Works ok in FF1.5 and Window-Eyes 5.5 so suspect Window-Eyes issue.
