Color names cheat sheet

As an update to my previous blog entry called Wierd Color Names, we decided to create this page. Here you’ll find all the color names, both wierd and not so wierd along with the color samples. The idea is to have a color refference that can be used both as an inspiration and for easy finding of the color you need.
