Select, View, and Compare Named Colors
This Demonstration facilitates selecting, viewing, and comparing an assortment of colors from any of Mathematica's seven named color collections. It constructs a palette of up to 13 colors for use in Mathematica or elsewhere. A selected color may be displayed as a square region or as an equiangular segment of a disk with up to 12 segments displayed on the square background. The regions are numbered from 0 to 13, where region 0 is always the square background. Any region to be colored is first selected by clicking it and then clicking the dot representing a chosen color in the panel on the right; the panel is selected from a dropdown menu. Below the graphics each displayed region's number is printed, followed by the color's collection name, its index number within the collection, the color's name, and its RGB (red-green-blue) color values.
