# ColorNames
this is a collection of colors codes and their common name. All data is collectd combined from
https://xkcd.com/color/rgb.txt which is CC0 and from an RAL data set which should also be CC0 and
data from [thecolorapi](https://www.thecolorapi.com) which should be CC0.

The data is structured as following

| Index | Field Name | Description |
|-------|------------|---------------------------------------|
| 0 | Name | name of the color |
| 1 | Hex | hex code of the color prefixed with # |
| 2 | R | red in RGB |
| 3 | G | green in RGB |
| 4 | B | blue in RGB |
| 5 | L | lightness (L) part in CIELAB |
| 6 | a | a-axis (a) part in CIELAB |
| 7 | b | b-axis (b) part in CIELAB |

The inclusion of the lab CIELAB values is meant to make approximation of
colors easier since calculating delta e via [CIEDE2000](http://www2.ece.rochester.edu/~gsharma/ciede2000/ciede2000noteCRNA.pdf)
is relatively straight forward and precise.
