I tried so hard but could not find MAROON & BURGUNDY, time to start over...

Absolutely love this. My skin is the color of salt. Sounds like the first line to a good poem.

As a blogger who has a designer in him, I like this effort.......... really good.........

This is incredible and much appreciated. My only regret is that both of my color blind sons will never be able to use it!

In different parts of the world colours of things appear different. My lemonade is much lighter, watermelon is cherry red, candy is rose red, ash is greyer and so on.... A lot more description and imagination and context is required to think of the right colour.

Jade belongs in the green/ blue section not black and leather would be more in a dark brown section. Those two are way off... But I can see that you are not an artist and this is your own guide for personal reference only and I would not put it out there for public use as the colors are not true... The names are similar to names given by several other references but that is all.

Hahahahahah ilove this

!!!!!!!!)))))))))))))))))))))

A tool for all shades of artists.

This is brilliant! The perfect color charts for various shades in each color spectrum that we can all understand and communicate. Thank you

This is so funny, people arguing over 'Black'. You should try to match-up a laundry basket full of 'black' socks...

There isn't any yellow shades

Lemonade is a kind of rose? At least in my country (where we produce tones of lemons), lemonade is quite yellow...

2 different colors named fire ....

I an Interior Designer who specializes in colorization. This is awesome and I am going to save it for sure. You did get saphire wrong though

Merigold is marigold I believe.

This is astounding!

Where's taupe?

Omg! My mauve is periwinkle!

Wonderful Charts

Compiler does not pretend these are "correct." They are her personal responses. Don't use them as a benchmark, many are quite atypical.

I can imagine a whole lot more colors. Where are the pastels shades?

If you want to make a color thesaurus you to go through way more colors than that.

Awesome tool, thanks for putting in the work!

Thank you!

What happened to Prussian blue?

I don't see Baby Sh*t Brown..

A rose by any other name, etc, etc. Purple may be amethyst today and wine tomorrow. This is an exercise in futility.

'wine' is mentioned twice with different color, once in reds, once in blues.

isnt 'peacock' supposed to be multicolor?

No Amaranth (dark purple).

they have this in the sample paint section of walmart

Idn't ebony supposed to be "blacker black than black" or "beyond black". This one here seems just...a bit brownish.

These are fun. To let you know, there is an official color guide. The Munsell color system gives every color you see a mathematical code.

Disagree with pistacchio

I think the point is that the same color can be called many things.

The problem is: they posted jpg's. The colors would probably look better in tiff.

Raisin is spelled wrong

A professional writer? It's a little embarrassing to have so many misspellings, and the word fire being used for two different colors.
