Well, see the attached MWE: LyX 2.5.0 does not load the xcolor with 
dvips names "always". It loads it only if a dvips name color is used in 
the text.

Below is the LaTeX Code preview, ("BrickRed" is a dvips color name):

% Preview source code

%% LyX 2.5.0 created this file. For more info, see https://www.lyx.org/.

%% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing.

\documentclass[american]{article}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}


\makeatletter

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% User specified LaTeX commands.

%\usepackage[dvipsnames]{xcolor}

%% Manually I have to turn this line on to load the xcolor dvips names.

%%Lyx does not load it automatically.

%%Comment this line and see if LyX loads xcolor dvips names.


\usepackage{sectsty}


\sectionfont{\color{BrickRed}}


\makeatother


\usepackage{babel}
