Add web color names to color format options for accessibility

[attokojeff]

Great tool we're using to teach students about hex and rgb values. However to take it a step closer to meet accessibility guidelines for color blindness it would be great if web color names could also be supported as a color format. Obviously can't name every single value, but would still be useful. Color names reference: https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_hex.asp. Thanks!

I've considered this in the past, but felt I couldn't really justify the extra bundle size needed for an adequate list of color names, especially considering that English names might not even be useful for a lot of people's use-cases depending on what audiences they're catering to.

Maybe it would be better to provide some code samples for incorporating https://github.com/dtao/nearest-color along with a nice established color list like https://github.com/meodai/color-names?

That makes sense. Very interesting links. My skills are still budding but I may look into incorporating those later. Thanks so much for the quick response!
