Some colors are listed twice as they blend into multiple places

The"B" is black and the"W" is white so you can see how letters look on top of these colors.

Note that the arrangement is based on MY preference, with colors I feel are visualy simular being located nearby. The intent was that if I was using one color that wasn't quite right by using this chart I might be able to find the name I was looking for. ( I hate using numbers)
