I am trying to create a palette of materials that conforms to a specific paint manufacturer’s palette. I have been able to extract the colour names and their RGB values from the manufacturer’s website. As there are over 200 colours, I would prefer not to create them manually. Is there a (relatively)…

Many thanks for the helpful answers and historic insights. I’ll be giving it a try once i actually manage to extract all the values I need - I thought I had but it’s not as straight forward as it first appeared.
