"Naming colors has never been this easy!" - Abraham Lincoln
A web app that provides a name for a color. EZPZ.
- Over 30,000 color names ⚡️
- Accepts both hex and rgb formats 🎨
- Color picker 🏹
If you enter #fb8a70, you'll receive the name of SALMON NIGIRI along with the hex and rgb color representations, which would be #fb8a70 and rgb(251, 138, 112), respectively.
You might be asking yourself, "What is SALMON NIGIRI"?
My answer: " Who the hell knows? 🤷"
- hex with hash (e.g. #323 or #332233)
- hex without hash (e.g. 323 or 332233)

- David A.'s CodePen - I actually used a good deal of his code in this app with a few changes to the functionality and a different look
- "Sass Color Variables That Don't Suck" - Landon Schropp - This article outlines how I follow naming variables in my code and it requires many different names for colors, which is what motivated me to build this
