We develop and implement a fuzzy logic algorithm able to determine which areas of the CIE-Lab color space correspond, with different weights, to which conventional color names (red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, purple, brown, etc.)Parameters of the underlying model are estimated using data derived from a psychophysical experiment. The resulting color naming application will benefit developers of computer vision and image classification applications, graphic designers, imaging hardware and software manufacturers, and other companies and individuals, including those involved in publishing, advertisement, and commercial photography.
