http://davidwalsh.name/sass-color-variables-dont-suck[^] His idea of a naming scheme sucks for exactly the same reason that named web colors do, in fact they sucketh mighter, even unto the seventh generation. Why? because the tool he uses will give you a near match, and ultimately the name might not mean anything to you. What colour is "Zinnwaldite"? Google images barely helps[^] - it ranges from grey, through pink even across to purple. The acual colour is more or less the same as tinned salmon.

Which is not the point, I think. The point is to have a unique name associated to a specific color. You might as well use a GUID, but Zinnwaldite is cooler than ASDE4-DR152-15487-DE456.
As soon as the service is not free anymore (or is it already ? I did not click), it might get interesting  This is an awesome business model : make people dependent of your free product, and then make it not free anymore...

It is soooo necessary a service too. I mean it must be so hard to define css -
$blue='#369';
[...]
$navigationBackground=$blue
[...]
ul#navigation{
background:$navigationBackground;
}
[...]

If we're going to get Biblical, this idea sucketh even unto the tenth generation.
There are a limited number of screen element types in any project, and enumerating them is not difficult; in fact, this is one of the jobs of a graphic designer. Assigning a decent colour scheme to these element types is likewise something that any competent graphic designer should be capable of doing.
If your project is so large that you cannot keep the list of screen element types in mind, you need a graphic designer to enforce coherence, name the element types, and assign their colours. If you can keep everything in mind, the suggested naming scheme is unnecessary.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I never really got the 10th generation thing. Numerologically, seven is much more gratifying.
But +1 for spotting it.

Funny that he almost glosses over the only one best and right way just because it would have the same value in different variables (WHAT? THE HORROR!)
What happens when decide to use #292929 as the background color for your buttons? Do you rename $border-color to $border-and-button-color? Do you add another variable and duplicate the value?
Magic, No, No but
$color-button = $color_border

Well then. Good thing I am free of obligations!
I was thinking: potassium(9) as that mostly can be "anagramized" from your clues (spot & iso). Another sweetener strangely also happens to be (9): aspartame!
