Resene RGB Values List

[cgrobb]

Saw this mentioned in color science research I was reading today.

The same analysis can be performed on a database that only contains colors, not
spectral reflectance factors. And example is the Resene database of paint colors. Resene
Paints Limited, New Zealand’s largest privately-owned and operated paint manufacturing
company, has generously made their ”Resene RGB Values List” available to the public.
The database contains 1383 colors.

A very brief check of this repo suggested they haven't been incorporated.

Thanks for the suggestion! As with Pantone and other commercially-owned lists, I'm a bit hesitant to include datasets like Resene’s due to potential legal issues. Even if they’re publicly available, the rights around reuse aren’t always clear.
