Stefan,
My Color Tree provides the links you want. It gives a comparison of the current
fan-named colors, matches to official Lego color names and numbers, and links to
more information - just click on any color name to be taken to more info (fan
names link to the Roots page, Lego names link to the Lego list):

The Color Tree Roots gives conversions between color names on Bricklink, Peeron,
and Ldraw. It also gives information about themes the color appears in, and
significant sets with the color. Links here go to color-specific part lists on
BL & Peeron, and if you click the picture takes you back to the Color Tree.

The Lego Color List is a compilation of the known color numbers as publicly
shared by Lego. The list includes the Peeron color list, tile pictures taken by
fans, and other information publicly posted. The Peeron list included
conversions of Lego colors into CYMK, RGB, HTML, and Pantone color values, other
sources did not include that info. Names here are linked back to the Color Tree.

The Color Tree Translator gives translations of many of the Color Tree names
into 7 different languages - German, Italian, French, Spanish, Danish, Dutch,
and Portuguese. The English name on this list links back to the Color Tree.

Until recently, there were very few Lego Official color numbers matched to AFOL
color names, which is why they were not included on the Roots page. I found the
Color Tree a better presentation of the unmatched colors. As you can see in the
tree, there are still a lot of Lego numbers that need matching.
I recently updated the Tree with info from Richard's post. All of my info is
from public online sources. I'll be adding the info from the tile pictures
shared in this thread soon. I'm always looking to improve the Tree, and make it
more useful. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
Hope that helps,
Clark

Before I asked this question I saw these webpages but I truely underestimated
the content! The link between BrickLink names and Peeron names is on one page
and the link between Peeron names and LEGO names is on the other. What I was
trying to compile was a list with all three names in it. OK, I know that the
LEGO names are wacky and not used and a translation between BrickLink names and
Peeron names is in practice enough, but I just wanted to have the overview
complete.
Suggestions for you (feel free to do anything with(out) it:
- The Color Roots page does not show all the correct names. The one I noticed is
e.g. the new Dark Gray color. The BrickLink name is Dark Bluish Gray and the
Peeron name is DkStone.
- I started to create a simple Excel sheet containing the names. I will finish
it and if you're interested I give it to you.
What I meant with the LEGO color names is indeed the hidden link on Peeron. I
also don't understand why it's not available on the website. Thank you David for
the tip.
Stefan.
