显示帖子仅形成与当前页面同名的类别

Question

My theme supports different post types - one of those is portfolio posts. I'm trying to display portfolio posts on a page but only from one specific category - the one that has the same name as the current page.

Example:
I have portfolio posts in categories: red, green, blue.
I have pages named: red, green, blue. Now I would like to display on page "red" only post from category "red".

I'm very new to wordpress and making websites in general.

I tried to read a bit about it and found a way to display posts from certain category only:

<?php $the_query = new WP_Query( 'portfolio_category=red' );?>

From there I tried to do this but it doesn't work:

<?php $the_query = new WP_Query( 'portfolio_category=$pagename' );?>

Here is full code of the page template I'm talking about: http://pastebin.com/LxetTnUz
