  <h1>xkcd color survey names</h1>

  <p>The names of colors extracted from the survey data of  the 2010 <a href="http://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/">xkcd color survey</a>.
  <p>Some of these are pretty funny; just have to look for a while!</p>
  <p>Why would your browser not be able to load a ca. 150 MB file?</p>
  <p>The order is as in the original database dump, however these colors are omitted: black, blue, brown, cyan, gray, green, grey, orange, pink, purple, red, violet, white, yellow.</p>
