texlive-xkcdcolors 2025.2

XKCD names of colors

In the year 2010, Randall Munroe on posted a really funny and nice article on XKCD. He made a very curious experiment: showing colors to a lot of people and asking to name each one. Afterward, he processed the data and sorted the names for each color by popularity --- that means, how many people gave the same name to the same color. This package makes the collected color names usable with LaTeX.
