Martin Wattenberg at IBM Research took our color names data and made a cool new cloud view:
Instead of plotting each individual color name like in the original, he grouped together identical names, took an average position, and sized the word by frequency. That’s why the more common names like “red” and “green” are large. This really helps readability (and, I’ll admit, the black background works a bit better :))
Thanks to Martin for sending this on!

I love it! It’s beautiful. I want it for my screensaver–would there be a way to make the colours ripple as one runs the mouse over them?

Hi guys. Great work and thanks for sharing your data. I’ve constructed an interactive 3D viewer that you can check out at:

We are looking for a technology to create an easy view of color differences between 2 images of the same object with only a time difference (wound image day 1 compared to wound image day 14). Any experience with your representation on colour difference? Thanks
