Dados três valores numéricos - sendo os elementos Vermelho, Verde e Azul de uma cor (oito bits por canal, 0 a 255) - seu programa deve gerar o nome da cor especificada.

Por exemplo;

Input:  255, 0, 0  
Output: Red

ou;

Input:  80, 0, 0
Output: Dark Red

Este é um concurso de popularidade; portanto, a resposta que tiver mais votos no primeiro de julho vence.

Inspirado por: mostra a cor RGB de entrada

Pitão

Este é um script Python que usa os resultados do Color Survey da xkcd , no qual Randall Munroe fez a milhares de pessoas exatamente a mesma pergunta. Ele chegou ao seguinte quadro:

A pesquisa possui apenas dados sobre cores totalmente saturadas (acho que cores não saturadas seriam todas descritas como "acinzentadas"). Isso significa que precisamos fazer alguns truques relacionados a cores para forçar nossa entrada a ficar totalmente saturada.

O que eu fiz aqui é apenas converter a cor de entrada em HSV, aumentar a saturação e encerrar o dia. Provavelmente, isso não está muito correto do ponto de vista da percepção de cores, mas funciona bem o suficiente aqui - e é simples o suficiente para que você só precise da biblioteca padrão. Pilhas incluídas de fato.

O script espera que satfaces.txt, daqui ( espelho ), esteja no diretório atual.

import sys, colorsys

n = (int(sys.argv[1], 16))
r = ((n & 0xff0000) >> 16) / 255.0
g = ((n & 0x00ff00) >> 8) / 255.0
b = ((n & 0x0000ff)) / 255.0

(h, s, v) = colorsys.rgb_to_hsv(r, g, b)
(r, g, b) = colorsys.hsv_to_rgb(h, 1, v)

match = "[{}, {}, {}]".format(int(r*255), int(g*255), int(b*255))

for line in open("satfaces.txt"):
    if line.startswith(match):
        print("You were thinking of: " + line.split("] ")[1].strip())
        break

Alguns exemplos são executados:

$ python color.py CEB301
You were thinking of: yellow
$ python color.py CC9900
You were thinking of: orange
$ python color.py CC0000
You were thinking of: red
$ python color.py 0077FF
You were thinking of: blue

E aqui estão as cores:

Eu diria que é bem próximo.

Atualize com GUI!

Pego a lista de cores desta página da Wikipedia (e as páginas relacionadas).

Também incluí alguns GNL para produzir resultados como "Rosa da Bulgária com um pouco menos de verde e azul" e algumas variantes. Tente brincar junto para ver se você consegue adivinhar a verdadeira "Rosa da Bulgária" usando esses feedbacks. :)

O algoritmo tentará encontrar a cor mais próxima da entrada, conforme definido pela distância euclidiana. Assim, você pode inserir qualquer número trigêmeo e ele fornecerá a cor mais próxima desse trigêmeo.

(o código aceita valores "separados por vírgula", "separados por espaço" ou "separados por vírgula")

Javascript

A seguinte função é escrita com usuários caninos em mente:

function getColorName(r, g, b) {
    return "gray";
}

Para os cães mais refinados por aí:

function getColorName(r, g, b) {
    var gray = (0.21*r + 0.71*g + 0.07*b);
    if (gray < 64)
        return "black";
    else if (gray < 128)
        return "dark gray";
    else if (gray < 192)
        return "light gray";
    else if (gray < 256)
        return "white";
    else
        whimper();
}

Mathematica

Atualização: Adicionado um parâmetro para definir o número de cores mais próximas a serem exibidas. O padrão é 5 cores.

Dados os valores RGB de uma cor sem nome, o seguinte encontra as ncores mais próximas de uma lista de 140 nomes de cores HTML. Em seguida, plota a cor sem nome e seus 5 vizinhos mais próximos em um espaço de 3, com eixos para vermelho, verde e azul. No rótulo da plotagem, nomeia a cor mais próxima e fornece seus valores RGB.

colorInterpret[rgb_,n_: 5]:=
Module[{colorData,valsRGB,pts,closest},
colorData=({ColorData["HTML",#],#}&/@ColorData["HTML","Range"][[1]])/.{RGBColor[x__]:> {x}};
valsRGB=colorData[[All,1]];
pts=Append[colorData[[Position[valsRGB,#]&/@Nearest[valsRGB,rgb,n]//Flatten]],{rgb,"Unnamed Color"}];
closest=pts[[1]];
Graphics3D[{PointSize[.05],
{RGBColor@@#,Point[#],Text[Style[#2,Black,14],(#-{.01,.01,.01})]}&@@@pts
},
Axes-> True,
PlotLabel-> Row[{"closest color: ", closest}],
ImageSize-> 600,
ImagePadding-> 50,
BaseStyle-> 14,
AxesLabel->{Style["Red",18],Style["Green",18],Style["Blue",18]}]]

Isso obtém a lista de cores do xkcd e encontra a mais próxima.

R

R possui uma lista incorporada de 657 nomes de cores para fins de plotagem. O código a seguir recebe a entrada do usuário e calcula a distância entre essa entrada rgb e o valor rgb dessas 657 cores e gera o nome da mais próxima.

a=as.integer(strsplit(readline(),", ")[[1]]);color_list=sapply(colors(),col2rgb);names(which.min(colSums(abs(apply(color_list,2,function(x)x-a)))))

Ungolfed:

a <- as.integer(strsplit(readline(),", ")[[1]]) #Ask user input as stdin, and process it
color_list <- sapply(colors(),col2rgb) #Convert the color name list into an RGB matrix
#Computes the difference with user input, adds the absolute value and output the name of the element with the minimal value
names(which.min(colSums(abs(apply(color_list, 2, function(x)x-a)))))

Exemplos:

> a=as.integer(strsplit(readline(),", ")[[1]]);color_list=sapply(colors(),col2rgb);names(which.min(colSums(abs(apply(color_list,2,function(x)x-a)))))
80, 0, 2
[1] "darkred"
> a=as.integer(strsplit(readline(),", ")[[1]]);color_list=sapply(colors(),col2rgb);names(which.min(colSums(abs(apply(color_list,2,function(x)x-a)))))
150, 150, 150
[1] "gray59"
> a=as.integer(strsplit(readline(),", ")[[1]]);color_list=sapply(colors(),col2rgb);names(which.min(colSums(abs(apply(color_list,2,function(x)x-a)))))
0, 200, 255
[1] "deepskyblue"
> a=as.integer(strsplit(readline(),", ")[[1]]);color_list=sapply(colors(),col2rgb);names(which.min(colSums(abs(apply(color_list,2,function(x)x-a)))))
255, 100, 70
[1] "tomato"

Edit: Mesma idéia, mas usando a lista de nomes de colorHexa :

a=strsplit(xpathSApply(htmlParse("http://www.colorhexa.com/color-names"),"//li",xmlValue),"#")
n=sapply(a,`[`,1)
r=apply(do.call(rbind,strsplit(sapply(a,`[`,2)," "))[,2:4],2,as.integer)
n[which.min(colSums(abs(apply(r,1,`-`,as.integer(strsplit(readline(),", ")[[1]])))))]

Exemplo:

> a=strsplit(xpathSApply(htmlParse("http://www.colorhexa.com/color-names"),"//li",xmlValue),"#")
> n=sapply(a,`[`,1)
> r=apply(do.call(rbind,strsplit(sapply(a,`[`,2)," "))[,2:4],2,as.integer)
> n[which.min(colSums(abs(apply(r,1,`-`,as.integer(strsplit(readline(),", ")[[1]])))))]

Scala

Minha tentativa - o recurso matador é que ele não requer conexão com a Internet! (Espero que não demore muito: D) Além disso, convoquei o Chtulhu ao preparar o banco de dados de cores (porque analisei um subconjunto de HTML com regex; o regex e o link para a fonte estão nos comentários)

Pharo Smalltalk

Coloque isso em um espaço de trabalho do Pharo e imprima-o .

| color colorNames nearestColorName |
color := Color r: 255 g: 0 b: 0 range: 255.
colorNames := Color registeredColorNames copyWithout: #transparent.
nearestColorName := colorNames detectMin: [ :each | (Color named: each) diff: color].

Os resultados são de qualidade mista. Todas as cores mais escuras são nomeadas como cinza , cinza escuro ou cinza muito escuro . Provavelmente Color, o diff:método poderia ser melhor.

Para uma visualização muito simples, faça :

((Morph newBounds: (0@0 extent: 200@200 ) color: color) addMorph: nearestColorName asMorph) openInWorld.

Macro SAS, com base nos nomes de cores (bastante peculiares) do SAS V8, conforme documentado aqui: https://v8doc.sas.com/sashtml/gref/zgscheme.htm#zrs-hues

Entrada de amostra:

%rgbname(100,100,50);

Saída de amostra:

Versão XKCD - uma imitação flagrante da resposta principal, mas é uma bela demonstração do mecanismo de URL do nome do arquivo e não requer a preparação manual de um CSV:

%macro rgb_xkcd_name(r,g,b);

    infile xkcd dlm = ',][' lrecl=32767 missover end = eof;

    distance = (r-&r)**2 + (g-&g)**2 + (b-&b)**2;
    min_distance = min(distance, min_distance);
    if distance = min_distance then outname = name;
    if eof then do;
