An interesting project (there was a similar one https://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/ https://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/).
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.
