# National Colors
A JSON file containing each country's national colors, in the proper order.
Scraped from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_colours which seems to be the only place
that has the **correct colors** in the **correct order**.
## Regenerating
A small [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/) script is used to scrape the Wikipedia page. To run it,
perform the following commands from this repository's root directory:
cd src
gem install normalize_country nokogiri
ruby extract.rb
Alternatively, if you prefer [Bundler](https://bundler.io/):
cd src
bundle install
bundle exec ruby extract.rb
The JSON will be written to `national_colors.json`. To use a different filename:
```
ruby extract.rb my_amaaaaaaaazing_filename.json
```
## html-colors
Mapping of CSS color names to hex values are done via a JSON file stolen from the
[html-colors](https://github.com/radiovisual/html-colors) node package.
