You might be thinking of Pantone colors? If so, Pantone and Adobe 
recently ripped those out of Photoshop, and made it so that you have to 
buy the ability to use those colors from Pantone.

Which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that this also means 
that, if you used to use the free Pantone colors in an older version of 
Photoshop, and then upgrade Photoshop, it will render all of the places 
where you used those colors before as **black**. Which essentially 
extorts money out of users in order to see the artwork that they made.

The lesson here (at least for me) is, it doesn't matter if the 
proprietary equivalent of something has better features or if you have 
enough money to buy it. Go with open source, the proprietary stuff can 
and will mess you up.
