Enter any hex, RGB, or HSL color value and instantly find the closest named color match. See color names, hex values, RGB, HSL, and similar colors.
Color Name Finder identifies the closest named color match for any input color. It uses a comprehensive database of over 1500 named colors including CSS standard colors, X11 colors, and popular design palette names. The matching algorithm calculates perceptual distance in LAB color space for the most accurate human-eye matching.
The tool converts your input color to LAB color space (designed to match human vision) and calculates the Euclidean distance to every named color in the database. The closest match is returned as the result.
The database includes 147 CSS standard named colors, X11 color names, Crayola colors, and popular design system colors — over 1500 named colors in total.
You can enter colors in HEX format (#RRGGBB), RGB format (rgb(r,g,b)), or HSL format (hsl(h,s%,l%)). A native color picker is also provided for visual selection.
The distance score shows how close the matched color is to your input. A lower distance means a better match. Colors with very small distances are nearly identical, while larger distances indicate the named color is only an approximation.
