Added CoffeeScript + Javascript versions

[dylan-baskind]

Great project!

I've been using these as the backing-data for a color selection palette in an Angular app, so I thought I'd save people the headache of converting the CSS / LESS / SASS to usable JSON.

Added a Coffeescript + VanillaJS version.

Hopefully useful to others.

@dylan-baskind Nice idea, I actually think it could be really useful if you need to do some color stuff in JavaScript on the fly, but I think it could be a bit simpler. Take a look at the pull request I set up and let me know what you think. You can just call colors.aqua instead of having to do colors[0].name. It avoids the issue of having to memorize the order of the objects in the array and the code is more self-explanatory when anyone is reading it.

Yo @ilanbiala - yah I'm with you!

Personally, I prefer accessing JS objects by property keys as well (i.e. colors.aqua) - makes much more sense to me; but most of my code-time these days is with Angular, which seems to work more smoothly iterating over arrays than objects; hence the more vanilla array version.

@ilanbiala @dylan-baskind Thanks for bringing this up!
Is there value in having both? I could use a tokenizer to generate both of these formats from one source file if there is.

@mrmrs - No worries, pleasure to contribute --- my $0.02: @ilanbiala approach would be my preferred data-model format in any other scenario than Angular's ng-repeat iteration [but I think they might be addressing more palatable object iteration in future releases] - so I think best to go for @ilanbiala 's approach.

(PS. @mrmrs - how did no-one think of this before! The browser defaults / defaults in every other-email-text-app-ever are so horrendous. Kudos to you).

@dylan-baskind - thanks a lot for the honest feedback. Going to close this pull request in favor of @ilanbiala's change. Definitely rock for bringing this up though.
