I am using a database with Resene color names (and some names from the Wikipedia colors list) mapped to specific hex codes. I find the closest hex code from the database to the one in your camera and show the name associated with it.

Hope that answers your question!

You could also use the layperson-supplied colour names from the XKCD survey:

It took colourblindness into account.
