Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
I propose adopting the ISCC-NBS color system, which defines just over 250 colors from 13 base colors and a handful of adjectives.
Scenario when this would be used?
Similar to #29906 and #11051, I love that the color picker already displays color names, but I find that the "color groups" are too vague to describe to another person (or AI) accurately.
The need to accurately describe color often comes up when describing an object to another person, or when working with a generative image AI. In artistic fields especially, it is helpful to be able to "pin down" specific colors when creating a color palette for digital art, web design, or paint colors. Put simply, this is an accessibility feature that would full color vision and color-impaired users, and would make it easier to describe colors to AIs and humans.
Supporting information
I think that the ISCC-NBS system is especially well-suited for the color picker tool for a couple reasons:
- It defines a large selection of colors, but not so many that they cannot be easily differentiated.
- It uses simple adjectives similar to human speech, but is compatible with sRGB and Munsell color systems.
From the links listed above, there are several digital references and papers that go into greater depth on how these color spaces are related as well as some existing open source code.
