A array with color names. Based on https://www.w3.org/TR/css-color-4/#named-colors

## Installation

This package is [ESM only](https://gist.github.com/sindresorhus/a39789f98801d908bbc7ff3ecc99d99c): Node 12+ is needed to use it and it must be import instead of require.

```bash
npm install colors-named
```

If you still want to use in CommonJS, you can use dynamic `import()` to load.

```js
const named = await import('colors-named');

// Fix compiling in typescript.
// https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/43329#issuecomment-922544562
const named = await (Function('return import("colors-named")')()) 
    as Promise<typeof import("colors-named")>;
```

## Usage

```js
import named from "colors-named";

console.log(named)                   // => ['aliceblue', 'antiquewhite', 'aqua', ... ]
console.log(named.includes('red'))   // => true
console.log(named.length)            // => 148
```

```js
'colors-named'                'colors-named-hex'          'colors-named-decimal'
===============              ===================         =====================
const named = [                const hexs = [             const hexs = [

  ...                  ->        ...              ->        ...
];                             ];                         ];
```

```js
import hexs from "colors-named-hex";
import named from "colors-named";

decimal[named.indexOf('black')]     // => [0, 0, 0]
