148<p>ListColorInfo() lists color names to the specified file. Color names are a convenience. Rather than defining a color by its red, green, and blue intensities just use a color name such as white, blue, or yellow.</p>

cristycecc9492015-06-09 16:53:50 +0000165
166<p>QueryColorname() returns a named color for the given color intensity. If an exact match is not found, a hex value is returned instead. For example an intensity of rgb:(0,0,0) returns black whereas rgb:(223,223,223) returns #dfdfdf.</p>
167
168<p>UPDATE: the 'image' argument is no longer needed as all information should have been preset using GetPixelInfo().</p>
