Just for the record, other proprietary or industry-standard color naming systems besides Pantone/PMS that have been proposed (more or less seriously) in the past (some as early as 1997) include: * HKS (spot, tone) <http://www.hks-farben.de/en_us/> * RAL <http://www.ral-farben.de/content/footer-navigation/footer-anwendungen-hilfe/application-help/ral-colour-names.html> * CI <http://colour-index.com/technical-info> * Crayola <http://www.crayola.com/explore-colors.aspx> * NCS (Natural Color System) * ISCC–NBS * CcMmYK * RYB (red, yellow, blue), subtractive * TSL (tint, saturation, luminance) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TSL_color_space> * …
