I can’t find the source now, but does anyone remember the collection of color names based on real things? It felt meaningful to remember the spectrum of colors that way (instead of arbitrary qualifiers), but now I can’t find it.
- moiriad 7y agoBy any Chance: Werner's Nomenclature of Colours ?
- undershirt 7y agoFinally found my notes on it, and threw this quick page on it since the original website doesn’t seem to work: https://observablehq.com/@shaunlebron/meaningful-color-names https://observablehq.com/@shaunlebron/meaningful-color-names I had not heard of Werner’s, but I like the idea of colors based on animal, floral, and mineral, thanks for the reference!
