This function returns the RGB triplet for almost any color. And unlike the way colors are somewhat officially defined (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors), this data set describes returns values for the ways that colors are actually perceived on computer monitors. Color names are intuitive because they are based on a survey of over 200,000 user sessions, wherein respondents were shown colors and asked to fill in their word for that color. You won't find "puke green" on Wikipedia's list of web colors, despite the fact that it's a color name that people use and understand.

Data come from an XKCD survey described here: http://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/
A chart of available colors and their most common names can be found here: http://xkcd.com/color/rgb/

Syntax
RGB = rgb('Color Name')
RGB = rgb('Color Name 1','Color Name 2',...,'Color Name N')
RGB = rgb({'Color Name 1','Color Name 2',...,'Color Name N'})

Description
RGB = rgb('Color Name') returns the RGB triplet for a color described by 'Color Name'.

RGB = rgb('Color Name 1','Color Name 2',...,'Color Name N') returns an N by 3 matrix containing RGB triplets for each color name.

RGB = rgb({'Color Name 1','Color Name 2',...,'Color Name N'}) accepts list of color names as a character array.
