I typed "Cerulean" (a shade of blue) and didn't get anything.

You could try to automate, get some images from a search engine for given phrase and try to average the color.

I would probably do an average and then for each image cut off say 20% colors that are most away from the average, and then average that.

That's a cool idea, though I don't know any search engine APIs that don't have a ton of restrictions on them. Google used to have a wonderful image search API, but it's either deprecated/discontinued by now.

I'll keep looking around, though.
