That's true Frank, but I suspect that people want a colour chart to
help them to interpret the descriptions in the text. That's all a moot
point if the colour reproduction in the book is poor.

I don't think that colour charts would be useful. There don't seem to
be any standards in naming based on colour. Colour changes depending
whether it is in the sun, shade, etc.
Look at RED. Red Knot, Red-capped Parrot, Red-capped Plover,
Red-capped Robin, Red-winged Fairy-wren, Red-backed Fairy-wren, etc
are all different shades.
RUFOUS - Rufous Whistler, Rufous-throated Honeyeater, Nankeen (Rufous)
Night Heron are all different shades.
