I'm reminded of xkcd's color survey map[1] and fun visualizations[2]. And a similar paper[3] with an interactive[4]. Note the variation between linguistic groups, and high variance among individuals. Might be interesting to compare the results of TFA. There's also work on using google image search to learn color from names.[5] I was sketching a kids app for "use phone camera to name and collect colors".
