What it does
Color-Name.com is a searchable colour-reference site with names, hex codes, image colour discovery and a visualizer. Its free account can save favourites, while most content can be used without registration.
Search by a colour name or hex code, use the picker, or follow Color Name from Image. A colour page brings together numerical values, shade variations, palettes and patterns.
Names need care when you move into code. For example, Lavender Dream is a descriptive name rather than a standard browser colour keyword; use its hex, RGB or HSL value in a stylesheet. CMYK values are calculated from digital codes, so they can differ substantially from a printed colour.
The free account is supported by advertising and lists attribution as a condition. The advertised Premium tier is marked coming soon. The site offers PNG and JPG images and SVG vector files for download.
