When 32-bit color depth came out, a magazine reported a request by a non-computer person to create a list of all the colors. Just all of them. The response was something like

00 00 00 Black
00 00 01 Still black
00 00 02 Nope, still black
00 00 03 More black
...

So a list of 4000 colors, named, might actually be useful at least to give someone a scope of color depth.
