Descrizione

Currently, the defined colors include all primary, secondary, and teriary light and pigment colors. Some of these, though, are unusual color names that students don't know. This has a few consequences:

1. If students want to know all of the available colors, the answer is overwhelming and adds cognitive load.
2. If students want to fine-tune their colors, they start by looking up specific color names to memorize, when we'd prefer that they turn to deeper techniques, such as the `RGB` or `HSL` color spaces, or composition of expressions with functions like `light`, `dark`, `bright`, `dull`, or `mixed`.

Conclusion: perhaps the more unusual color names should be deprecated. This means keeping only the color names that are basic expectations: `red`, `green`, `yellow`, `blue`, `orange`, `pink`, `brown`, `purple`, `white`, `black`, and `gray` (or `grey`). Anything else could be deprecated, and eventually removed.
