The input color needs to in HEX format eg. "#b37256"

Remove get-color-name from npm registry

Hello there. I saw that you have this package twice on npm. One time as "get-color-name" and the other time as "nearest-pantone"
It would be very nice of you if you removed "get-color-name" from the registry as you already have the other package there in a newer version and I would like to use the name "get-color-name".
