I see that you've added 'Xona_com_Peacock', but the colour is different from
"peacock blue"; suggest adding:
  farge_Peacock_Blue = rgb <0.199219,0.628906,0.785156>

(values from BRLCAD's colour db).

Hi jr,
sorry for not seeing and answering this before.

I took a look at the rgb.txt file from the BRLCAD's source files, and the
Peacock color there is defined as RGB 51, 161, 201.

If you convert that to a POV-Ray style format, that would be rgb <0.2,
0.631372549019608, 0.788235294117647> since you have to divide with 255 that is
the max value and equals 1 (with 0 being the minimum value), and not divide with
256 as you have done here, since that would give you 257 possible color
values...

Brgds,
Sven-Erik

Just wanted to say that I have released a new version.

Last year, I stumbled upon a Github repository
(https://github.com/meodai/color-names) that contains a massive collection of
named colors, currently 27351 unique color names.

So I have created a new include-file that contains the colors from that
repository. Had to do some conversion of the names in order to get POV-Ray to
accept them since many contain non-ASCII or UNICODE characters or various
punctuation marks.

I have attached the new release, and the latest version you can also find at
https://github.com/SvenErik1968/Farger.inc

Happy New Year, everyone!

Brgds,
Sven-Erik
