Color Name Finder

Get the closest CSS color name for any hex, with the exact-match indicator.

Frequently asked questions

How does it find the color name?

It compares your color to the 140+ named CSS colors and returns the closest one by RGB distance. If your hex exactly matches a named color, it says so; otherwise it gives the nearest name plus that name's hex for comparison.

Can I look up a CSS color by name?

This tool goes from hex to the nearest name. The two swatches let you see how close the named color is to your exact value, which is what matters when deciding whether to use the keyword.

Which color list is used?

The standard CSS / X11 named colors that all browsers support, so any name it returns works directly in CSS.
