I don't know whether it's ANSI's standard names or not, but I'd like to know where did you get those names from. I been searching the internet for ANSI's official color names for their 256 color palette, and have found none.

Hello,
both colors: 109 and 110 have assigned name: LightSkyBlue3. Isn't this a bug?

Both show a hue value of 1, while they should be 32 and 41, respectively

The colors in xterm's 256color palette are not named. This means that arbitrarily assigning them names pulled from another palette, /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt in this case, and listing those names under "Xterm Name" is highly misleading.

Moreover, the colors that are, in fact, based on X11 colors by default, 0 to 15, are associated to the wrong X11 color names.

I would suggest either renaming the column with a more straightforward name like "Name Of The Closest X11 Color" or removing the column altogether.

Hello,

I don't know if I'm missing something, but if I reset xterm to default configuration and display the red color (echo -ne \e[41m ) it get's displayed as RGB(204, 0, 0) that is #cc0000. The table claims RGB(128, 0, 0) which would be #800000.

I couldn't find this anywhere in the Wikipedia article either.

Have a great day

Hi, thanks for the table.

As you say there are clashes and so I reworked it.

Sorted / renamed those often conflicting names using your luminance infos into descending order regarding brightness.

Btw: How did you calculate those hsl values, sometimes they look a bit off, visually...

Anyway, source for the fix:

colors = <paste your json table here>

if __name__ == "__main__":

    # first remove all numbers from the names, they don't fit:
    names = {}
    for m in colors:
        n = m["name"]
        while n[-1].isdigit():
            n = n[:-1]
        m["name"] = n
        names.setdefault(n, []).append(m)
    # we nave now in names:
    # {'Red': [{'name': 'Red', id: 9, ..., hsl: }, {'name': 'Red', id:196, ...}..

    # first Red is not red:
    red = names["Red"].pop(0)
    red["name"] = "Salmon"
    names["Salmon"].append(red)

    # now sort the lists per luminance and set the numbers from high to low lum.:
    nn = {}
    for n, ms in names.items():
        if len(ms) > 1:
            ms = sorted(
                ms,
                key=lambda k: 10000
                - float("%s.%s" % (k["hsl"]["l"], int(k["hsl"]["h"]))),
            )
        # first greys are actually darker whites, so:
        if n == "Grey":
            ws, ms = ms[:3], ms[3:]
            i = 1
            for w in ws:
                wn = "White%s" % i
                nn[wn] = w
                i += 1
        i = ""
        for m in ms:
            # DarkOlive makes no sense, superbright first - and there is no Olive:
            na = (m["name"] + str(i)).replace("DarkOlive", "Olive")
            m["name"] = na
            i = 1 if not i else i + 1
            nn[na] = m

    names = nn
    table = {}
    for n, m in names.items():
        table[m["colorId"]] = m

    import sys, json

    sys.argv.append("")
    if sys.argv[1] == "table":
        print(json.dumps(table, sort_keys=1))
    elif sys.argv[1] == "names":
        print(json.dumps(names, sort_keys=1))
    else:
        tm = "%(colorId)4s \x1b[38;5;%(colorId)sm%(name)s\x1b[0m"
        for n, m in names.items():
            print(tm % m)

Then save this as foo.py and run python3 foo.py [table|names]

If you say python3 foo.py names | jq . you get

How did you get all of the colors names and values?

Otherwise thank you, this will be useful to me.

The color SteelBlue1 is in there twice. Once as 75 and once as 81
