Old Time Fun: Ternary Plot

Here is the ternary plot of the 140 named colors supported by modern browsers. Actually, only 139 colors are drawn in the graph. There is no place for Black (RGBColor[0,0,0]), the center is White, however, you can't see it on the white background.

Great plot. Can you make the code available?

I second that. How did you make the ternary plot?

you could use Tooltip to show the values when you mouse over the disks

cg = Graphics[{PointSize[Large], RGBColor[#/255],
Tooltip[ Disk[coords[#/Total[#]], 0.01], N[#]/Total[#]]} & /@
namedcolors, ImageSize -> 300]
