The only "definitive" source for color names that I know is the "ISCC-NBS Method of Designating Color and a Dictionary of Color Names", NBS Circular 553. It was based on the Munsell system and assigned names to regions of each hue plane. There was also a supplemental publication with color charts made from Munsell chips with the ISCC-NBS names instead of the Munsell coordinates.
