That list is decidedly NOT cognitively ergonomic. Ends up being worse than useless by giving an appearance of authority.
E.g. look at a periwinkle flower and look at the periwinkle in the list. They call periwinkle "Aero" but what is that?!

I think color names should only be included if they match objects, have historical precedent or are composed of these plus basic descriptors. Or approved by the trans galactic color authority.
- yreg 5y agoHaven't you cherry-picked a periwinkle photo that fits your opinion? This one has more red to it and fits the colour listed on Wikipedia better. https://www.atozflowers.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Vinca_minor1Jina_Lee-1024x768.jpg https://www.atozflowers.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Vinca... Aero originates from the Royal Air Force, don't presume the name doesn't match historical precedent when you don't know of one. Of course there are tons of competing names for various colours (and also many competing views on what set of colour coordinates belongs under a particular named colour) across cultures. The list above cannot hope to be objective or complete.
