Copy Tip
Why Use Color Name Finder?
Designers and developers constantly work with colors, but remembering the exact name for a specific shade is nearly impossible. Our Color Name Finder bridges the gap between color codes and human-readable names. Search by name to find the exact hex and RGB values for colors like 'coral', 'slate gray', or 'medium sea green'. Or paste a hex code to discover the closest named color — perfect for making your CSS more readable and maintainable.
The tool includes all 148 CSS named colors, extended web colors, and popular design palette colors. Each color card shows a visual swatch alongside its name, hex code, and RGB values, all copyable with a single click. The reverse lookup feature is especially useful when you have a hex code from a design file and want to know if there's a standard name for it, or what the closest named alternative would be.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the reverse hex-to-name lookup work?
Enter any hex code and the tool calculates the color distance (using the CIEDE2000 algorithm) to all named colors in our database. It returns the closest matching named color along with a visual comparison so you can see how close the match is.
Which color sets are included?
The database includes all 148 CSS named colors (like 'tomato', 'cornflowerblue', 'linen'), extended web-safe colors, and popular design system colors. Colors are organized into categories like reds, blues, greens, neutrals, and more.
Can I search by RGB values?
Currently, you can search by color name or hex code. For RGB lookup, convert your RGB value to hex first (e.g., rgb(255, 99, 71) becomes #FF6347) and use the reverse lookup feature.
Are these colors safe to use in CSS?
Yes. All CSS named colors in our database are part of the official CSS Color Level 4 specification and are supported by all modern browsers. You can use either the name or the hex code in your stylesheets.
Can I use this for print design?
This tool focuses on screen colors (RGB/Hex). While you can reference the color names and values, print design requires CMYK color values for accurate reproduction. The RGB values shown here are intended for digital use.
