Hi! Thank you for sharing the color thesaurus I designed. The originally created it as a writing tool to help authors explore color vocabulary. You can see my original post on my blog here: http://ingridsundberg.com/2014/02/04/the-color-thesaurus/
Superb. There are so many that are new to me.

If your trying to be english, spell colour properly
If you’re trying to write English, use “you’re” correctly.
As a man I can only see 7 colors here: white, yellow, orange, red, pink, blue, green, brown, grey and black. Yes, also as a man I can´t count well above five and purple is never going to touch my eyes while I live…
I’m just kidding, my job is video editor and I can distinguish all of the 240, it’s just that girls’ vision seems to be more fitted to appreciate subtle color changes. By the way, do you know that a book have been published containing nothing more that every possible RGB color that a human range of vision can have?
Isn’t Jade green?
This is a great baby naming tool!

Some of your colour samples look nothing like the names. Watermelon and daffodil for example.
WOW! I love this, It is not only helpful for the artists but also general public. As I select color contrast to update my home. Thank you.
Nice job. But er er- ah- excuse me here (harrumphing now) I might possibly have given a similar or longer list in my blog at http://lonelyasteroid.blogspot.in/2014/03/www-words-for-wannabe-writers.html

Nice idea for a blog post. Where did you get this information? It reminds me of going to the hardware store and looking at the thousands of different hues of paint that are available. Different manufacturers have their own names for their colors.
(If “merigold” is meant to represent the color of the flower, it is misspelled.)
