@[email protected] @[email protected] it's a really deep rabbit hole - rgb is actually a terrible way of representing colours even at the basic level of being able to try and define all visible colours (see colour spaces en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_...) and that's before you even get to things like how different pigments change in different ambient light vs how projected colours are perceived in different brightness of light or how the texture of your paper changes the apparent ink colour...

@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 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 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.
