Library: von Luschan skin colors

I created a library for ourselves: von Luschan's skin color 'chromatic scale'. You will need to rename the attached text file to *.jcl. The file is based on the info contained in the attached *.jpg.

Reference URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_von_Luschan

The library is highly subjective for two reasons: Felix authored the original about a century ago and the creator of the *.jpg did not use precise methods. For example, numbers 13 & 14 are the exact same color. I didn't change that.

For me it was an exercise in 'peripheral synergy' for work stuff. I over wrote the text file (that Dave Jerrard provided) and . . . it works! Not only does it work, but it was a bunch of work. Dave deserves kudos for his contributed library and . . .

Wow, did Matt Gorner really provide the community with more than forty separate libraries. Yes he did. I don't see any truly automatic method for doing so. After doing a very small one myself (only 36 colors), I do appreciate the labor of others.
