it includes conditionally formatted colors.
Download it from the bottom of the Products page at my website...

I thank you very much...that explains why sometimes I see the color names and
sometimes I don't!
Really appreciate the help.

That would depend upon where you're accessing the color picker.
If from the Fill Color Icon on the Toolbar you should see the color names.
Also when formatting a Comment or Shape color you will see the names.
If from FormatCellsPatterns you will not see the color names.
