FAQ

Still have questions?

How does this tool pick the closest color name?

It compares your HEX code against all 147 standard CSS color keywords using a perceptual distance formula, then returns the nearest one along with a similarity score so you know how close the match really is.

What does the similarity percentage mean?

100% means your color is an exact match to that named color. Anything lower is an estimate of how visually close the two colors are - the lower the number, the more the named color is just the nearest available label, not a perfect fit.

Are these official color names?

Yes - the 147 names used here are the standard extended color keywords defined in the CSS Color specification, supported by every modern browser.

Does this tool store or upload my colors?

No. Every match happens locally in your browser. Nothing you type or pick is sent to a server.
