So the bigger question to me is how to create a singular, AFOL-friendly,
language agnostic (or as close to agnostic as possible) naming system that is
shared among all the sites and tools that use such a system. Couldn’t this be
a committee task of the LSC?

The LSC could address this, but the LSC members aren’t necessarily experts on
the color palette. And it’s an issue bigger than LDraw.org. So maybe a
cross-organization group is called for?
If we’re going to talk about a ‘system’ for the color palette, I’d really like
to see some semi-official definitions for the various adjectives that appear in
the Daneglish color names. You mentioned ‘Earth Blue’. There’s also ‘Earth
Orange’ (and probably other ‘Earths’). Does ‘Earth’ have any specific meaning?
Darker? More brown? Establishing a glossary of adjectives could help people
navigate the color tree.
Getting official/semi-official notification of new colors and color changes
would be very helpful. I don’t care so much if (for instance) y’all decide to
‘tweak’ Purple, just let us know that it’s going to happen.

In the standard color wheel, pastels are achieved by adding white to a pure color, and earthtones are achieved by adding black, so I'm guessing the really dark colors are all termed Earth Something.

| All, I've seen many requests as of late to have LEGO release their color names for the specific brick colors. There has also been multiple requests for RGB/CMYK values and specific LEGO part numbers. Over the years I've addressed this question here (...)
