🌈 Color::Library::Dictionary::NBS_ISCC::RC ✨

okay bestie, so this is the NBS/ISCC RC dictionary — aka the Rock-Color Chart one 🪨💅. It ships as part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, section 3pm, so yes we are in Perl docs territory and yes it's about rocks being various shades of beige. iykyk 💖

🎀 NAME 🎀

Color::Library::Dictionary::NBS_ISCC::RC — the (NBS/ISCC RC) Rock-Color Chart dictionary, no cap 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

the receipts first, bestie, quoting it exactly:

Kenneth L. Kelly and Deanne B. Judd.
"Color: Universal Language and Dictionary of Names",
National Bureau of Standards,
Spec. Publ. 440, Dec. 1976, 189 pages.

Color Name Dictionary: (RC) Rock-Color Chart

National Research Council,
Rock-Color Chart

so here's the vibe check on this dictionary: it's a combinatorial field-work dictionary, and its 95 names map to 120 colors, using 89 of 267 centoids 👑. The way it's less redundant than the others?? iconic. genuinely.

but 😭 the focus on rock colors means it will not make for a general purpose dictionary. it's giving "very specific niche" and honestly that's valid, it's just not your everyday palette 💀
