About CSS Color Names

CSS includes 147 named colors that map to specific hex values — from familiar names like "red" and "blue" to descriptive ones like "rebeccapurple" and "papayawhip". This tool finds the named color whose RGB values are closest to your input by Euclidean distance in RGB space.

Useful for naming custom palette colors, finding readable shorthand for hex values in documents, or seeing which named color a brand color is closest to.

Frequently asked questions

What's "distance"?
Straight-line (Euclidean) distance in RGB space between your color and the named color. Lower = closer match. RGB distance isn't perceptually uniform but it's fast and good enough for naming.
