formula for top 20 striking web colors

[gilgalbiblewheel]

Is there a pattern or formula to pick up the top 20 most striking web colors?

I'm not sure what you mean.
You can try Adobe's Kuler and type "bright" in the search field. These ARE striking for sure.

Well:

• White = #FFFFFF;
• Black = #000000;
• Red = #FF0000;
• Blue = ##00FF00;

I was thinking maybe it would be possible to create an array (I'm talking about php) of colors based on a formula to display the 20 top colors.

I won't be able to answer the PHP question, but when it comes to colors, there are not too many combinations for the extremes (max R, max G, max B and these 3 mixed).
Then you could step down to another popular value and go with 99's (#990000 etc). With 66's the colors would be hard to describe as striking.
