I have always found the XKCD color survey of 2010 to be a most excellent reference in color perception:

And still, nobody can spell fuchsia.

Think of the word Nokia. Now say foo - ksee - a.

On color perception, it is worth noting that it is culture-depedent. I've read some indegenous people can name you tens of different shades of green, while grouping together everything we would call red-orange-etc into a single color

I didn't see any acknowledgment of the effect computer monitors could have had in muddying the data. Some monitors represent colors differently. In fact if you don't use a gamma-corrected monitor then you have no chance at all.

This was amazing to read as a colorblind person. The graph showing simple names was a feast as I was trying to find out where my colour-blindness fls in the green/yellow region.

xkcd really rules.
