====== colorname ======

===== About =====

colorname tries to assign a name to a color using external color definitions and a little math.

For this it calculates the [[wp>Euclidean_distance|euclidean distance]] between the currently selected color and all predefined colors, either in the [[wp>YIQ|YIQ]], [[wp>Rgb|RGB]] or [[wp>HSV_color_space|HSV]] color space.
