Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color] Adding names to the color previews (#7686)

This might be interesting to try. I can see a few problems:

- offensive names.
- unclear names. 
- trademarked names
- commercial factors

There are some who would find [these](https://color-register.org/color/?q=vomit) sort of [names](https://color-register.org/color/?q=poop) offensive.

[gainsboro](https://color-register.org/color/?q=gainsboro) is just mysterious, [dodger blue](https://color-register.org/color/?q=dodger) is culturally specific.

[IBM Blue](https://color-register.org/color/?q=ibm) is a [branded color](https://usbrandcolors.com/ibm-colors/); same with [Netflix Red](https://color-register.org/color/?q=netflix) also [branded](https://usbrandcolors.com/netflix-colors/). All Pantone colors are covered by license agreements. Getting tangled in trademark law is not desirable.

the [Official Register of Color Names]() charges [USD 37](https://store.color-register.org/) per name.
