Default Get a color name from any RGB combination?

Here's a userform I threw together that shows how to use
"dataset.txt"

https://app.box.com/s/23yqum8auvzx17h04u4f

Note that the file doesn't contain every possible RGB combination,
and so there's opportunity to add your own names. If interested, I
can import the parsed file into a worksheet and edit the values, then
export it a a csv.


After some thought (and a good night's sleep), I believe the userform
can be easily modified to 'Add' new names and RGB combos to the
"dataset.txt" file so it never actually needs to be loaded into a
worksheet.

I'm not sure what (if any) practical use this has other than say
designing custom paint colors, but it has captured my interest enough
that I started a XLS project named "ColorNameManager" which I will
provide a download link to when it's done to my satisfaction. This will
include a zip file containing the original "dataset.js" file and the
above named workbook in XLS format...
