Color name lookup

Find the closest CSS color names for a hex value, or get the hex for a name.

Matches against the 148 CSS named colors. Distance uses the redmean approximation (0 = exact). Close matches are often more useful than exact ones — a swatch is shown for each.

Everything runs in this browser.

How to use

  1. Pick hex → name or name → hex.
  2. Enter the hex color or CSS name.
  3. Read the match and up to five close alternatives.

What it supports

Matches the 148 CSS named colors by redmean distance (0 = exact). Accepts #rgb and #rrggbb. Names are English CSS keywords — Japanese color names and non-CSS systems (RAL, Pantone) are not covered.
