Description
In the README example, an image file is opened using opencv, which will open the file in BGR. However, the `color_names.npz` dataset that comes with the repo is stored as RGB. Therefore if you use the example verbatim, you will get incorrect color identifications. Since `from_file.py` uses skimage.io instead of opencv, the only corrections needed are on the README, which are:
- replacing opencv calls with skimage.io calls
- removing any mention of needing color name files stored as BGR.

Research direction
Start with the README example and compare it with from_file.py, which uses skimage.io. Check how color_names.npz is represented, then update the README so its image-loading example matches the dataset's RGB format and no longer mentions BGR color-name files.
