Putting numbers to colours

 I have become interested in the naming of colours in nature, having found out about Werner's Nomenclature of Colour. Then I found out that computers assign values to colour based on amounts of RGB. It turns out that Microsoft Paint will do the job using its Colour Picker. I tried 3 different greens in the same photograph of the fern Polypody. Clearly the light affects the perceived colour.
