Not much fun in buying it all in one go.
What Ledean said. I wouldn't've bothered if all the colors were easily available.
Anyway, I've been wanting to do this for the longest time; here's my collection:
Here are close-up shots of similar shades (labeled from top to bottom, or left to right where appropriate):
greens:
jade - greenLED (aka Kelly Green) - green - lime green
blues:
purple/violet - blue/purple, this came labeled as "blue" but has a distinct purple tint to it - midnight blue - blue - shimmer blue/BLS - ice blue
pinks:
fuschia - hot pink - pink
reds, orange & Nascar fade:
Nascar fade - orange - red - "red" (labeled as such, but a darker red, what we've been calling "burgundy"

silver - gold ano - gold plated - orange
browns:
copper - 3 shades of bronze/brown, still gotta sort them out
greys, black, camo, HA:

My ~1:20 scale minimag pinewood derby car:
I still need to go back and check all the color names, etc. (especially with the browns).
