ingosteinke12243dyou mean like this 256 web safe color palette: black, black, black, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, brown, brown, brown, ...

D-4got10-012443dPrecisely!
And if it's not a basic color - approximate, add 'dark'/'light' modifier, or just provide the hex value.
WTF are maroon, cyan, && teal? -
ingosteinke12243d@electrineer both orange and brown are darker and redder variations of yellow, right?
But languages like Italian have more or different "basic" color names, like different tones of what English people (who rarely see blue sky?) subsume to be "blue". -

Demolishun3288643d@atheist I started thinking of colors as ethnic groups. Now I can't get Cyanese out of my head.
Aubergine, oukome, taupe… wtf man. Just call colors old fashioned names, you know? Red, blue, green, yellow? Bitch
