NAME

WebColors

SYNOPSIS

    use 5.10.0 ;
    use strict ;
    use warnings ;
    use WebColors;

    my ($r, $g, $b) = colorname_to_rgb( 'goldenrod') ;

DESCRIPTION

Get either the hex triplet value or the rgb values for a HTML named color.

Values have been taken from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_color_names#HTML_color_names

For me I want this module so that I can use the named colours to extend Device::Hynpocube so that it can use the full set of named colors it will also be used if I get around to creating Device::BlinkStick
