Default Get a color name from any RGB combination?

Way to go, Gary, and thank you so much for your effort :-)

I can't wait to see what you come up with :-)

I tried to download your userForm, but couldn't import it, since it seem to
be missing a .FMX file???

I'm currently working on a solution myself, so it'll be interesting to
compare :-)


Regards,

CE

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...
