Are you doing any kind of validation/moderation of user provided names? I'd be afraid of getting something like a "epstein did nothing wrong red" submission.

Thanks for the great point. Currently, i don't have a validation system for the names submitted by users, but I appreciate your concern and see the potential issues it could pose. I'm planning to adjust the submission process. Users will only submit the hex code, which is straightforward to validate, and then i will utilize the 'webcolors' Python library to automatically assign a standardized name based on the hex code. This should help maintain consistency and prevent any inappropriate naming. Thanks again for your valuable feedback
