Colornames.org – A collaborative effort to name all 16.7M colors
- purple-again 6y agoVery first thing I see is a rule that the names must be non offensive and the second thing I see is the color orange named after Trump. Apparently not a very serious attempt.
- NateEag 6y agoPeople don't like to admit this, but "offensive" is by definition subjective (to whom does this give offense?). Thus, unless you're fairly explicit about who it's not okay to offend, "offensive" is at best vague and at worst weasel-wording.
- macawfish 6y agoI tried naming a particular shade of brown "solid poop" and it was rejected. I feel let down.
- projektfu 6y agoTrump does make an effort to be orange. It’s sort of a trade mark like John Deere green.
- dingdong3 6y agoWhat are you talking about? TDS is very very real and very very serious. You can say anything negative about him here too but anything positive becomes political and gets removed by the intellectual mods.
- deleted 6y ago[deleted]
- quickthrower2 6y agoTrump can be a word meaning “done better”. I trumped you at math.
- picdit 6y agoA 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/ https://colors.lol/ ;)
- billfruit 6y agoMay be they should restrict it to 2 or 3 words without punctuation.
- pishpash 6y agoIf 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.
- bottled_poe 6y agoThat’s not right. 256 * 255 * 254
- _0ffh 6y agoI suspect you didn't catch gp's meaning: To get to 24 bits of color info, you'd need at least 3 words of 8 bit info each. If you want these to be non-repeating and unordered that makes 256x3=768 unique words.
- ryangittins 6y agoI'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?
- baddox 6y agoBy induction, doesn’t that mean we would only have one color name?
- bb2018 6y agoIf there are zero people who cannot tell two colors apart, they should have the same name. If there is at least one person who cannot tell two colors apart, they should have different names.
- roel_v 6y agoWhat does 'telling a color apart' even mean? I did a mini project some time ago, where I basically did some custom color quantization (it was to reduce an image into a configurable amount of discrete colors, to make a pixel quilt with a manageable amount of distinct fabric colors). So I used CieLAB colors to calculate the 'visual distance' between the available colors and then recursively merged colors until I got to the desired amount. But even a simple algorithm like that, it turned out, could be implemented in several way; each of which gave different, yet equally 'valid' results. My point being - it's very hard to give a simple, unambiguous meaning to seemingly simple concepts like 'what is a color', 'when are colors the same' and 'are these two colors more similar than those other two'. There is a lot of abstraction between the physics of light and representations of color e.g. on a screen, or in fabric, or when printing.
- Firerouge 6y agoI think in the case of telling two colors apart, it's can be as simple as presenting them side by side, and seeing if someone can distinguish a difference.
- kccqzy 6y agoI can't see this succeeding at all. Randall Munroe tried something similar and the results weren't encouraging: https://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/ https://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/ > People are primed by the colors they saw previously, which adds overall noise and some biases to the data and > Moreover, monitors vary; RGB is not an absolute color space
- perennate 6y agoI think it's just for fun. After all, the top name for black (#000000) is Lil Huddy (https://colornames.org/color/000000 https://colornames.org/color/000000).
- xipho 6y ago2000 suggestions a hour seems like a success to me.
- remcob 6y agoWould be fun to take all this data and interpolate it to all the 16M colours using a natural language model. We'll need this if we want to stand a chance against at ten bit colour depth.
- stallmanite 6y agoMaybe kind of silly like buying titles to land on the moon but I have to admit to naming a few. It’s fun.
- reaperducer 6y agoAs long as they include rebeccapurple. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_A._Meyer#Personal_life https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_A._Meyer#Personal_life
- enricozb 6y agoOne of my favorites: Greerg: #123321
- kebert 6y agoAmazing
- mrwnmonm 6y agoSo I can give it my name?
- eru 6y agoThey have a voting system, it seems.
- Perenti 6y agoMore discrimination against us colour blind people. The basic names are confusing enough - my housemate mentions something "green" when there's no such thing, he's talking about the brown one.
- beart 6y agoCan you suggest an alternative?
- eru 6y agoI think Perenti is just joking. I'm colourblind myself. I mind when eg UI elements or real world distinctions are _only_ communicated by hue (instead of also using texture, brightness, saturation, shape, text, etc); but I don't think anyone can mind less disabled people making full use of the facilities they have.
- Perenti 6y agoAlthough mostly tongue in cheek, I do think the lack of awareness by some UI designers is a real issue. I've also found IDE syntax colouring schemes that are just too hard. I've also found posters and signs where important information is in colours/shades that I can't discriminate between. Sometimes I wonder if there should be a law that prevents safety information being green on brown, or brown on green, or the wrong shades of red/green/brown together. And no, I don't do domestic wiring, nor can I read many resistors.
- eru 6y agoI am wary of adding extra laws. Especially ones that are hard to enforce. Luckily, I found that people seem to be paying more attention to accessibility than they did in the past. Eg Game Maker's Toolkit has a video series about 'designing for disability', see eg their 'Colourblindness & Low Vision' entry at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrqdU4cZaLw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrqdU4cZaLw One of their points is that lots of adjustments made to assist people with disabilities can also help normal people grasp information quicker or in unusual circumstances.
- njacobs5074 6y agoSo amused by this project as I struggle to give names beyond "copper", "blue", "dark green", etc.
- kylek 6y ago"Blartreuse" ow my sides... They need to have a way to sort by votes, or have a "Best of" or whatever. I was curious (and they provide the data! Thanks!)...so naturally- $ curl -sL https://colornames.org/download/colornames.zip | zcat | sort -nk3 -t, | tail -n10 486d83,Blue Loneliness,0.069 123456,Incremental Blue,0.071 1eeb01,Creeper Aw Man,0.072 336699,MetaFilter Blue,0.077 abcdef,Alphabet Blue,0.078 696969,Nice,0.124 b83c73,Red Tedir,0.139 ff0000,Red,0.249 ffffff,White,0.417 000000,Lil Huddy,1 Edit: sorry..."Focus Group Blue"...im dying
- ryanmjacobs 6y agoHey, I independently came up with a similar solution (https://notryan.com/colors https://notryan.com/colors) and it renders to HTML. But ugh... I applaud your simplicity. I used `unzip` instead of zcat, but I guess .zip files normally use GZIP internally. And, I didn't know you could use `sort` for a specific field! So I ended up using a full SQL engine... Learn something new everyday :)
- crazygringo 6y agoMakes me think of when xkcd did a survey to produce "objective" names of swathes of the RGB spectrum [1]: http://imgs.xkcd.com/blag/satfaces_map_huge.png http://imgs.xkcd.com/blag/satfaces_map_huge.png That was genuinely educational. Colornames.org just seems to be a gimmick, kind of like the million dollar home page [2] -- remember that? But still fun though. :) [1] https://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/ https://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/ [2] http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/ http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/
- etxm 6y agoI went to name a “Doodoo brown” and was warned 7 other doodoo browns exist. Nice, I’ve found my people.
- perilunar 6y agoI made doodoo red for you instead: https://colornames.org/color/d00d00 https://colornames.org/color/d00d00
- oefrha 6y agoOf course, 16.7M colors aren’t all colors, not even in “web space”. Enter color(display-p3). https://webkit.org/blog/10042/wide-gamut-color-in-css-with-display-p3/ https://webkit.org/blog/10042/wide-gamut-color-in-css-with-d...
- lern_too_spel 6y agoCSS Color Module 4, which introduced support for the DCI-P3 color space, also introduced support for the even larger ProPhoto RGB and Rec.2020 color spaces (as well as the similarly-sized Adobe RGB). These were already supported in media that could be embedded in web pages.
- kkarakk 6y agoVoting system kinda ruins it, ppl game it too much and bring in western cultural references a lot so their choice goes to the top instantly
- progre 6y agoWestern cultural references are kind of unavoidable when naming things in English I think.
- applecrazy 6y agoAdded "Hacker News Orange" to the list: https://colornames.org/color/ff6500 https://colornames.org/color/ff6500 I'm struggling to figure out if this is a serious attempt, though.
- retreatguru 6y agoI saw this and voted it up.
- stanislavb 6y agoThere are submissions from 7 and more months ago. Seems serious.
- rohan1024 6y agoHN should allow changing of color of top bar via a get parameter. It would be awesome.
- applecrazy 6y agoYou 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.
- asciimike 6y agoI believe it's 256
- Stratoscope 6y agoI was so happy when I reached that number (or whatever it was) and didn't have to look at the orange bar any more. For anyone looking for a more tasteful topcolor, try d0c8b5. It's just a darker version of the main HN background color, so it's easy on the eyes.
- hunter2_ 6y ago
- dvduval 6y agoI'm still working diligently on counting the grains of sand on the beach closest to me, and hopefully we can pool all of our work together for a final count. As soon as that's done I'll start trying to name all the stars. Colors? I'm tired already.
- okareaman 6y agoBut you're not giving each one a name. Slacker.
- irrational 6y agoThere are only 5000 stars visible to the human eye. And many already have names. That would be a much easier job than naming 16m colors ;-)
- remus 6y agoGrains of sand? Easy! Want a real challenge? Try naming all the numbers between 0 and 1! I've been at it for weeks and struggling to get much past 0.
- pbhjpbhj 6y agoHa, I thought of doing that but decided it would be too hard, so i picked the much easier challenger of naming the numbers between 0-0.01. I'll be finished in no time. Though it did cross my mind to split the range in to 2 parts and then recursively bin each part in two; if I allow repeating names ... Perhaps then ones chances would be greater than zero. ;oP
- mmmuhd 6y agoI am workingon naming a billion stars after real people name.
- billfruit 6y agoI would if they restrict names to be two or rarely three words and avoid punctuation. Also, I think they should advise against humorous/jocular names and ask people to suggest brief but descriptive names. I was voting on suggested names, very many are those jocular names, overlong and with too much punctuation that does not really serve the purpose.
- cloudwizard 6y agoI added Draymond Green https://colornames.org/search/results/?query=draymond+green https://colornames.org/search/results/?query=draymond+green Because, why not.
- ryanmjacobs 6y agoAh! This is fantastic! For those curious, I created a script that sorts their data by votes! https://notryan.com/colors https://notryan.com/colors
- grey-area 6y agoWhat about those colours which live beyond the pale of RGB in LAB space? Will they forever be nameless?
- chungy 6y agoIt's a grey area.
- tzfld 6y agoWould be nice a multi-language support
- devinplatt 6y agoThere's a downloadable dataset! Would be fun to train a color-labeling model :)
- pmarin 6y agoOn X11 you have /etc/X11/rgb.txt with ~750 color names.
- nicolascom 6y agoLazyboy #123456 Prime #135711
- JKCalhoun 6y agoAt the current rate, should have them all named within a year.
- hexzhang 6y agoThe vast majority of people are not need to remember ten and more color names, Remembering the 16M names is so impossible that you cann't understand which color does the others tell you indeed mean before you google the name and get the hex values. I think this project makes no sence at all.
- onyb 6y agoSoon to be used as a startup name generator.
- lcnmrn 6y agoThey 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.
- twelvechairs 6y agoMore importantly they shouldn't limit themselves to an RGB bound color space
- rini17 6y agoThen go all the way and use perceptually uniform colorspace. But that has complicated relationship to RGB used everywhere.
- phs318u 6y agoOK. Went down the rabbit hole 20 minutes ago and just surfaced. I love simple time-wasters like this. My contributions include: Peppermunt Not quite baby shite Medical attention required Hardware store argument blue Something tells me however that the colour picker that implements this list, while fun, would not be very performant.
- DonHopkins 6y agoThere are four distinct competing pukes, a myriad buffet of barfs, and a veritable cornucopia of vomits, but none of them cover what I consider the entire gamut of requisite Ralph colors.

"Whoops" Brand Fake Barf has its own distinct set of signature colors, including "perfect puke-yellow" with "Cabernet chunks", easily recognizable by connoisseurs and aficionados of fine fake barf. And artisanal hand-made farm-to-floor fake barf has its own earthy bouquet of organic colors. https://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/the-inside-scoop-on-the-fake-barf-industry/ https://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/the-inside-scoop-o... >The latex is initially white, but after a day or so, dries into the perfect puke-yellow. “Then, they attach it to a card that says ‘Whoops’ and sell it,” Stan says. >Of course, now, the original “Whoops” has many gnarly competitors. “One of the better ones is called Glop, made by the famous S. S. Adams joke company.” Others made across the Pacific include Fake Barf and “Oops.”
- rationalfaith 6y agoWhy? Why do we need to tag and name everything. It's slows us down. Tools get better and we dig deeper into the analog world. So this seems useless unless practical needs demand it.

- enhdless 6y agoThis immediately reminded me of this interactive art installation, wax chromatic, by Alexander Reben: https://areben.com/project/wax-chromatic/ https://areben.com/project/wax-chromatic/ The audience names a color, and the lights change accordingly. I remember attending a talk of his where he briefly mentioned the huge color name mapping he created for this piece!
- IvanK_net 6y agoI think we should also name the numbers between 1 and 1,000,000 wiht unique names. The current names we use have too many patterns :D The number 173,515 could be a "singing dog", etc.
- pachico 6y agoAs colour blind (I fall under the umbrella of Deuteranomaly) I must only celebrate this kind of efforts. I should probably know better but if I recall, up to 8-10% of male population can suffer some kind of colour blindness so it's a huge slice of population that can be benefitted from this. Cheers
- Endlessly 6y agoAll humans are colour blind to some degree; as they get older, even more so.
- pachicodev 6y agoInteresting. I didn't know that.
- zjs 6y agoOne challenge with this is that the same name will be proposed for similar colors. For example: https://colornames.org/search/results/?query=+Safety+Orange+ https://colornames.org/search/results/?query=+Safety+Orange+ Deciding what to call a color is going to require more than seeing which name for each color gets the most votes. For a set of names to be useful, they need to make sense when taken as a set.
- jl6 6y agoNice project but I have a couple of questions of the team: 1. How will you deal with bots and griefers since there appears to be no login required? 2. When is a color considered named? More than X votes for the top name? Any final QA to check for profanity, trademarked terms or other malarkey?

The idea behind is that if we let the computer pre-parse the text for us, it should incur less mental fatigue, and help visualize the structure of sentences therefore improving our reading comprehension. The question is how universal can we make this color-mapping ?

- BorisTheBrave 6y ago"Later he applied his extravagant principle to the other numbers. In place of seven thousand thirteen, he would say (for example) Maximo Perez; in place of seven thousand fourteen, The Train; other numbers were Luis Melian Lafinur, Olimar, Brimstone, Clubs, The Whale, Gas, The Cauldron, Napoleon, Agustin de Vedia. In lieu of five hundred, he would say nine. Each word had a particular sign, a species of mark; the last were very complicated.... I attempted to explain that this rhapsody of unconnected terms was precisely the contrary of a system of enumeration. I said that to say three hundred and sixty-five was to say three hundreds, six tens, five units: an analysis which does not exist in such numbers as The Negro Timoteo or The Flesh Blanket. Funes did not understand me, or did not wish to understand me." -- Funes the Memorious, Borges

However, I have a few concerns. It does provide feedback "That name already exists in 3 other places." with a warning sign. It really shouldn't, for quite a few reasons: - Names that make sense will appear many times over. It is natural and good. It will make the final result MUCH more robust if we look at the most common color. - Right now it promotes the first move. If someone uses color "sea" for "#003b3b" (Mexican gulf oil spill?) it discourages others for using the same name for more suiting colors. The problem can be anything: poor English vocabulary, typo, atypical connotation, poor color display, etc, etc. - Then the feedback says that my voice will be the name of a color. Too much pressure for me. English is not my mother tongue. I am am not a graphic designer. My display is good, but clearly not good enough to distinguish the tiniest changes.

- ggggtez 6y agoWhy do I get the feeling that you could programmatically name all these colors in some trivial way? Then you wouldn't end up with 30x "Blue" in your dataset. Let's imagine we take the dominant byte of each color only. That's 4096 different color combinations. The lower byte makes up another 4096 color variations to each of those dominant colors. Just name 4096 "Color" words, like "Blue", "Aquamarine" etc. Then 4096 "useless adjectives" like "Mindful" and "Exotic". And viola: Exotic Blue - 0x0xFx | xAx3x5 Mindful Blue - 0x0xFx | x5x5x5 etc. 8000 words is something a single person could do by themselves, and it would generate all 16.7 million colors. You could even have some intuitive understanding. "Aha, Mindful Blue is a little bit grayer than just 'Blue'." This isn't even the most useful schema you could come up with... Realistically, it's foolish to even do this in the RGB colorspace. Humans are not going to notice the difference between #000000 and #000001. Colors should be organized in a way that's useful. Hierarchical color naming at least gets you partway there.
