Greetings,
I don't know if anyone is interested, but PharoInbox now contains a change set, Graphics-KenDickey.131, which adds Color names based on NBS-ISCC Color Centroids as described in:
http://people.csail.mit.edu/jaffer/Color/Dictionaries
After the change set has been filed in, one should invoke "Color initializeNames" in a workspace. "Color explore" and look at the pool dictionary for swatches and details.
This set of Color names has the properties:
* explicit and non-restrictive copyright and license (below) * no name conflicts between colors * color names are specific to surface colors or lighting * colors are distributed to equalize perceptual distances between them and * colors are derived from matching physical samples
Can we handle "white" being F2 F3 F4 rather than FF FF FF? This is like this because of some reason to do with printer gamuts. Otherwise - good find! I'll be keeping the reference. Gulik. -- http://gulik.pbwiki.com/
