Colors 109 and 110 have the same name

Hello, both colors: 109 and 110 have assigned name: LightSkyBlue3. Isn't this a bug?

Could you spare some time for this? It's really simple to fix, unless the author does serious contemplation on adequate color name. I can see that's possible, I can maybe hint that entering the color value into WolframAlpha finds nearest HTML color with its name, however it can happen that there is no good match and the HTML color is distant and the name refers to some essentially-different color. I can see that it's all about preserving the color's essence within an adequate name.

I can share RGB 24-bit hex triplet -> xterm-256 color palette C-written tool that works in CIELab color space, maybe it will help.

Same problem.

There are many duplicate color names, not just those two. And I don't think it's ANSI's official color names.
