FWIW:  To choose colors, this page
http://research.stowers-institute.org/efg/R/Color/Chart/index.htm
and PDF
http://research.stowers-institute.org/efg/R/Color/Chart/ColorChart.pdf
can be used to view the "named" colors in R, along with RGB information in
decimal or hex.

Not everyone can "see" the same colors.  In particular, about 7% of males
have some color blindness, especially red-green.  See some of the links
under "Color Blindness":

Not all devices have the same color "gamut".  That is, not all devices can
display the same ranges of colors:

Matching color between the screen and printers can be a problem.
