On a related note, I've been thinking that it would be nice to include the results of the xkcd color survey <https://xkcd.com/color/rgb/> in Colors.jl. Right now it has the CSS/SVG and X11 colors which is great for standardization, but sometimes you want to be able to get a RGB value corresponding to fairly specific and easy-to-remember color names (mocha, cerulean blue, etc). I was originally going to stick it in a different package, but there might be a nice way to separate these names in Colors.jl
