number of colornames?

[Mark Schonewille]

Wayne,

Not every colour has a name. There are (apparently) 552 named colours  
and many more unnamed colours, assuming that there are approximately  
255^3 different colours. The colorNames function returns all of the  
552 named colours.

There used to be a PANTONE colours library stack in the user  
contributions collection on the Revolution site, which could be  
interesting for you, but this collection is no longer available.  
Maybe someone still has that stack and is willing to make it available?

Best,

Mark
