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
