Colour Memory — Cultural Color Intelligence for AI

Description and use

The world's only historically grounded colour archive built for AI agents.

Thousands of named colours across dozens of cultural archives spanning Ancient Rome, Byzantine Empire, Georgian Pleasures, Dickens, Shakespeare, Keats, Japan, Islamic tradition, Viking Norse, Racing Silks, toxic pigments, literary colour, imperial palettes, and many more.

Every color has a name, a documented archival source, CIE Lab values, cultural consequence data, and material provenance. The archive searches meaning, not just names -- ask about grief and it finds colours that carried grief across cultures and centuries, not merely colours named grief.

Built as a retrieval system, not a generator. Deterministic, evidence-based, source-cited. The anti-hallucination layer for colour history.
