How it determines the closest color name

The "name_any_color" library determines the closest color name to a given color value by comparing the input color value to a predefined list of color names and their corresponding hex codes. It calculates the color difference between the input color and each of the predefined colors using the CIE76 formula, which is a widely used formula for calculating color differences. The library then selects the color with the smallest color difference and returns its name, hex code, and whether it's an exact or approximate match.
