    I've used this a lot actually and appreciate it exists but I have a lot of issues. First of all is how much it's used for memeing and coming up with funny sounding names for certain colors. There are also many professional color palette names. Some, like CSS named colors, are very well-represented. Others like Wikipedia's list of named colors[0] draw from various sources. Then there's others that might be historically important[1] but little known otherwise. But basically anything outside of CSS named colors, Crayola, and Pantone is completely ignored. There have been many instances where I've seen major color-naming bodies (e.g. ISCC or the Federal Standard 595C) all agree that some color name is mapped to a certain color but the users of colornames.org have just completely ignored it and come up with a new color for it. How do we name new colors without ignoring names that have already been assigned?

    My second major issue is how deeply susceptible it is to cultural biases. Wikipedia handles the issue of constantly changing knowledge/culture by stating that its mission is to capture knowledge "as it currently" exists.

    I'd like to see a version of the colornames scores where votes are weighed by recency. Older votes can still count, but in order to capture constantly changing/adapting culture and emerging consensuses we can maybe weigh more recent votes more heavily

    Another thing I'd love to see is to just have accounts answer the question: "Which language have you spoken the most of in the past (7) years of your life?" I think this one simple data point can solve a LOOOT of the issues and captures both culture and heritage without having to differentiate between place of birth, changing life circumstances and upbringings, etc. This would also mean that people who speak Tagalog don't have to see their well-agreed-upon name for a color being overwritten by the norms of demographic majority of the userbase which skews English-speakers
