Variable colour names
I think your definition of cyan goes too far into the green.
And there are colour names that should change with lightness and/or saturation. eg.
- Very dark lime makes little sense.
- Light red makes it more like rose or pink.
- Dark reds seems misnamed to me.
- dark yellow may be called mustard ...
I suggest the names should be defined (at least the highly saturated) based on the results of this survey https://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/ http://imgs.xkcd.com/blag/satfaces_map_1024.png
