ok so i spent a little while doing this and no one may want it or use it and im sure ill get trolled telling me about how useless this is, but oh well and then again some one sometime may find it useful like me
according to this list there are 1301 named colors.
yes im aware this is no where near all the digital colors but they are colors with names. which makes them useful.
so i looked for a way to make them useful to us,
RGB565 is what my displays all use so these colors are all converted to that, believe it or not i converted them with arduino and the serial console
heres the code for that
colorhex.ino
the RGB conversion code for the most part came from here
http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=57014.0
attached is a pdf file with a list of all the colors and color codes ... i couldnt figure out how to get libreoffic calc to turn the cells the color that mathced the information so you will have to use the wikipedia reference. also attached is the ods spread sheet incase you can figure out how to get it to change the background color ...lol
all in all when all of the colors are added to a sketch it only takes up
Sketch uses 656 bytes (0%) of program storage space. Maximum is 253952 bytes.
Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 8183 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 8192 bytes.
so if you wanted to make a spastic rainbow display you so could ... in fact its what i am off to do
Ill bring that code back later:)
the only thing i wish i could do is programattically arrange the colors in order of actual color;reds with reds so on ...
well be back later
