Up/down votes should be added to each individual color's own page, ie https://colornames.org/color/f9cdcb
Edit: I added this suggestion through their used feedback service.

#103I'm curious—is there a point to giving two separate names to two colors which are indistinguishable from one another to the human eye? There are zero people in the world who can tell #FF4500 from #FF4501, so aren't they effectively the same color?
I propose that names be considered more like probability distributions. For example the name “red” has a probability distribution that probably peaks in the neighbourhood of #FF0000 but includes a large range of colors; the distribution of the name “crimson” likely has a much narrower distribution. Under this interpretation, and given enough data, one could feasibly extract “the” name for any given colour using a maximum likelihood estimation (what name is most likely to generate the observed colour).
And to collect data on this, one could for example ask many random users to choose the range of colours they believe correspond to a given name (“select all red colours”) and merge the results into the distribution. (There are many, many other ways to carry out such a survey; this is but one example).
Obviously, you won’t get to 16M names this way, but you could definitely learn quite a lot about where the “boundaries” are between colours from this kind of exercise!

#104Unfortunately (or fortunately, depends on perspective) for these guys there's more than 16.7M colors.
The world isn't digital like that, but even in the digital realm, 10bit per RGB channel is not uncommon.

#105There should be a mash-up that lets you preview the colors on bikeshed.com.

#106Earlier quoted context omitted.
You can change it in your profile settings (though that’s not exactly what you’re asking for). I think there’s a karma threshold, though.
I believe it's 256
It’s 250. There’s also a list of all colors in use, sorted by frequency: https://news.ycombinator.com/topcolors

#107A few of my favorites so far: Screaming Grey: #AAAAAA It's Still Basically Black: #000001 Nice: #696969 (lol) These would make for some great candidates: https://colors.lol/ ;)
May be they should restrict it to 2 or 3 words without punctuation.
If it's 3 non-repeating unordered words, the minimum vocabulary will need to be 256*3 = 768. Realistically you'll need an order of magnitude larger. That's a pretty large vocabulary.

#108They should have named 12-bit (4096), 15-bit (32768) and 18-bit (262144) color spaces first then the 24-bit (16.7M) color space. It's easier for humans to manage smaller data sets at first.
More importantly they shouldn't limit themselves to an RGB bound color space
Then go all the way and use perceptually uniform colorspace. But that has complicated relationship to RGB used everywhere.

#110What about all the colors named on other sites? colourlovers.com alone has already named over 10 million colors. Someone should scrape those and add them :)
