https://colornames.org is a "collaborative effort to name every color in the RGB/web space".

They currently have 21,010 colour names and the data is downloadable under CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain Dedication.

Hallo @hugovk awesome, I did not know this project!

But sadly the quality of the names is poor + There are quite some names that make no sense to me.

000000,Black,1
000001,It's Still Basically Black,0.143
000002,Blacker,0.048
000003,Not Really Black,0.19
000004,Blackerererer,0.048

Also there are quite a lot of protected brandnames like Dell, Microsoft etc...

Can you think of a good way to filter those out?

They look like good names to me! :)

Something like https://github.com/dariusk/wordfilter/ with a custom word filter could be used for filtering.

cool I will look into it. I do like the submission form they have thought, I think I will do something similar.

I have decided to not add the color names from colornames.org looks like they have encoding problems äöü.. characters are missing + I find the quality of the names to be pretty bad
