xkcdcolors – xkcd names of colors
In the year 2010, Randall Munroe on posted a really funny and nice article on xkcd. He made a very curious experiment: showing colors to a lot of people and asking to name each one.
Afterward, he processed the data and sorted the names for each color by popularity — that means, how many people gave the same name to the same color.
This package makes the collected color names usable with LaTeX.
