Get list of colour names?

thomthom

Is there a method that returns an array of named colours?

I imagine I saw one - but I can't remember where. Or I could be imagining things...

heeeeh! found it as I typed: Color.names didn't expect it to be part of the Color class.

Why not? That's where query methods about a class go.. IN the class, as a class method.
Otherwise we would not know where to look.. right? (We do not what to look in the Cookie class.)

Thought it'd be in a collection class. Like Colors (if it had existed)
Or Sketchup.colors - as a list of the colours SketchUp recognized.

It is... but the collection is inside the class, where it belongs.

That could be implemented... but would just be a method that accessed the data structure in the Color class.
Don't want to overload the parent module with too many methods.
