@Cyberbeni btw how do you solve it other than not telling them try magenta or fuchsia but rather try #ff2231 (random example) because I can't figure a more accurate (and quick) representation of matching a colour than using the full RGB?
@nycki Pretty much all lists containing named colors have different colors with the same name. This one included if you count "yellow green" and "yellowgreen".
@Cyberbeni ...yeah? is that a problem?
@nycki Only for those who care.
@Cyberbeni no, seriously, I don't get it -- can you explain the problem to me?
@nycki People like using color palettes (a set of ~4-6 colors that go well together) for creating art. So when you recommend someone that they try "yellow green" and "magenta" together, it's important to have mutual understanding which source to use to match the color name to the exact color code and that source only has 1 color code for each name.

@Cyberbeni Jes煤s-effing Christ today I learnt this was so complicated. That video traumatised me for life.
@nycki thank you for a very interesting thread. I had no idea about any of this.
@Cyberbeni is that a thing that happens often? Do people share palettes using color words? I was under the impression that people sharing a palette online would just send the actual colors as an image.
