I can’t find the source now, but does anyone remember the collection of color names based on real things? It felt meaningful to remember the spectrum of colors that way (instead of arbitrary qualifiers), but now I can’t find it.

I had not heard of Werner’s, but I like the idea of colors based on animal, floral, and mineral, thanks for the reference!
