RGB Values to Color Names in Data Table

I have a data table that contains RGB values in separate columns and I want to have the name of the color ( or close to it) displayed in a seperate column.

One problem is that I can give some leeway in the values so they could be in a range of values so Black could be 0-0-0 or 5-0-0 or 0-5-0 or 0-0-5 or 5-5-0 to 5-5-5 etc. so a range of +/- 5 either side would be allowable

e.g.

   

Color NameRGB CODERGB
Black0-0-0000
Blue0-0-25500255
Light Blue173-216-230173216230
Yellow255-255-02552550
Orange255-165-02551650
Deep Pink255-20-14725520147
Pink255-192-203255192203
Brown165-42-421654242

Re: RGB Values to Color Names in Data Table

MS's column formula is great!

That last line is not just elegant but probably performs faster than my loops.

I updated the script RGB Color Matching Script.

Thanks MS!
