Give me a color and I will name it.
colornamer-rs is in the early stages of development and the api should be considered unstable
Naming things is one of the hard things in computer science.
Colornamer-rs is a library written in Rust that helps you come up with a good name for a color.
It does this by converting the color to Lab color space and using the Delta E formula to compare the color difference in a list of colors with known names and finding the nearest neighbor.
```rust extern crate colornamer;
use colornamer::{ColorNamer, Colors};
fn main() { let colornamer = ColorNamer::new(Colors::HTML); let name: String = colornamer.namehexcolor("#1E90FF").unwrap()
println!("I will call this color '{}'", name);
} ```
The color names are derived from several lists:
This library is based on the wonderful color-namer library for nodejs.
Color difference formulas were found at easyrgb.com.
