Frankly Wayne,

I don't see any more than 552 colors, unless there are more after yellowgreen. Isn't that enough for you?

Hi Mark & Joe:

I don't want to beat a dead horse or belabor a point, but:

the number of lines of colornames() returns 552

however as I iterate through the lines using something like

line i of colornames()

by the time I am at 552 I am nowhere near the end...

I realize what is probably going on is that there are often 4 or so
variations on a single name like firebrick, firebrick1, etc.

What is confusing is why the "number of lines" and "line i of" aren't in agreement. And assuming I do want to get all of the variations, how should I set up the loop other than "repeat with i=1 to the number of lines of
colornames()"?

thanks again
Wayne

Wayne,

Not every colour has a name. There are (apparently) 552 named colours
and many more unnamed colours, assuming that there are approximately
255^3 different colours. The colorNames function returns all of the
552 named colours.

There used to be a PANTONE colours library stack in the user
contributions collection on the Revolution site, which could be
interesting for you, but this collection is no longer available.
Maybe someone still has that stack and is willing to make it available?

Best,

Mark
