There is g_aPredefinedClrNames, but that's a bit older code, which relies
on array index to correspond to theme color type value. A map would
probably be better...

I suggest you always cast the XThemeColor to UnoThemeColor and use wrapped
ThemeColor to get the ThemeColorType enum. There are also the
transformations that you need to take into account anyway, which aren't
covered by the UNO API.

I'm looking for a method like: getMarkupStringForThemeColorType(3) with

Well if you expect it to return "tx2" then that's a problem as the same
ThemeColorType maps to "dk2" in drawingml, so you need to treat that
specially.

If it doesn't exist, shall I define one local in my FontworkHelpers only

I suggest you define one locally for Fontwork, because of the difference of
what values it should return (tx1, tx2, bg1, bg2 instead of dk1, dk2, lt1,
lt2). We can always refactor afterwards.
