RGB is a color model[1], not a color space[2]. Note that the headline gets this wrong but the page linked to gets this right. sRGB or Rec2020 or ACEScg etc. are color spaces with known primaries and a known whitepoint. This is not nit-picky. Almost everyone doing CGI for the first time w/o reading up on some theory beforehand gets this wrong (because of gamma and then premultiplication, usually in that order). Then t…
Is the initial setting (Color Name List) a list of ALL the colors in each "sub" category listed in the drop menu? If so, would it be possible to put a "namespace" in front (like html.violet, or html::violet). That way you see which source it's from? That way you know where it's from (though I realize this may cause multiple "hits" on the same value/name) Or perhaps same names have different values. Either way, pretty…
Great project! It's visually dazzling and it really drives home the sheer size of the universe(s) of named colors. I've long been interested in the names of colors and their associations. If I may plug my own site a bit, check out the "color thesaurus" feature on OneLook that organizes color names more linearly. Start with mauve, as an example: https://onelook.com/?w=mauve&colors=1 (It also lets you see the words evo…

Here's the list of colors it works off of: https://github.com/meodai/color-names/blob/main/src/colornam... I'm trying to figure it out.
For Euclidean distance it seems to be in the neighborhood of (59, 250, 60) which is a bright green, although of course Euclidean distance is not perceptual distance. The blue at (57, 42, 214) also is up there.
Are there really no named colors outside the sRGB gamut?
Wait, does this not use the colornames.org dataset?
As I learned more about color models, I kept adding different ones over time. The perceptual models helped me understand the “missing” areas much better.
Later, after building an API around the list (https://github.com/meodai/color-name-api ), I started including other lists with permissive licenses too.
Appreciate all the thoughts and feedback here. I’ve also changed it so the cube stops spinning once you interact with it.

holy shit its so much better

You mean all the low-saturation colors you see around the diagonal?
I think that is hat was meant and I wonder about that also. Adding: Looking some more I think it would be nice if the rotation could be stopped. Labeling the axis would be nice also.
author said he fixed that, interacting will stop it now
