My first list! I tried not to overthink the selection, but seeing the colors laid out shows there are too many similar colors (boring whites). The plan for these challenge lists, for me anyway, is to incorporate them on my portfolio website in the form of pixel art. I unexpectedly learned that there are not a lot of named colors which has inspired me to create my own in the future as a personal exercise.
