Pigment database

Cross referencing the pigments in various paints, I came across https://www.artiscreation.com/Color_index_names.html - a database of all the colours assigned codes, along with the common names. Interestingly - well, to me anyway - there seems to be a lot of overlap between common names such as "cadmium yellow hue" and a number of pigments.

It's also provided some insight into some of the colours in FW Inks, particularly the use of phthalocyanine blue & greens in a number of them. And the ever-punchy dioxazine violet (although I'm less impressed by realising "velvet violet" is seemingly nothing more than a hue of "purple lake").
 
This is absolutely brilliant ESpy.
Thanks for posting this.
