Colorjam named_colors including 4447 named colors and 436 R colors().
named_colorsFormat
object of class character with length 4447, containing
hexadecimal colors named with human-assigned color names.
Processing
Named colors were obtained from the amazing Github repository meodai/color-names. This resource provided 30200 total named colors. A subset of 4447 color names were denoted "good names" and were included here.
R colors from grDevices::colors() whose hex values were not already
included in the Meodai resource were added, after removing identical
hex colors such as "darkred" and "red4".
These R colors were named with prefix "R" so labels such as
"darkred" became "Rdarkred". The "R" prefix was used to avoid
name clashes, and to permit the Meodai color names to take precedence
whenever the same name was used in both resources.
The Meodai resource seemed visually preferable to similarly-named
R grDevices::colors() such as "brown", and "chartreuse",
however there could be benefit in using R color names since they
appear to match the W3C color name standard used by HTML and CSS.
