From the README
A meticulously curated collection of 30119 unique color names, sourced from various references and thousands of thoughtful user contributions.
The names of color function like a thread attached to a frightfully slender needle, capable of stitching together our most delicate emotions and memories. When the needle hits the target, we feel either pleasure or empathy. Kenya Hara – White
This project aims to assemble the largest possible list of color names, while maintaining high standards for name quality. We have merged numerous lists, resolved duplicate names with different hex values, and adjusted colors where identical values had different names.
