Summary description: xkcd names of colors

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------


In the year 2010, Randall Munroe posted a really fun and nice article on 
the iconic web of xkcd. He did a very curious experiment: showing
colors to a lot of people and asking to name each one.

Afterward, he processed the data and sorted the names for each color by 
popularity --- that means, how many people gave the same name to the
same color (no guidance here! Read the post linked above for details).

He obtained a nice list of around 950 color names. It's not at all 
surprising that a lot of people forged CloudyBlue, but some color is 
really surprising, like for example BabyPoopGreen or DullPink...

Now you can use them in LaTeX!
