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


In particular, the licence is

"
Copyright \251 2003 Voluntocracy.  Permission is granted to copy and
distribute modified or unmodified versions of this color dictionary
provided the copyright notice and this permission notice are preserved
on all copies and the entire such work is distributed under the terms
of a permission notice identical to this one.
"

Cheers,
-KenD
