About Color Name Finder
Our Color Name Finder identifies the closest named color to any input color. With a database of 140+ CSS color names, it uses the CIE76 Delta E formula in LAB color space to find the most perceptually similar named color.
Perfect for when you have a HEX code and want to know what it's called, or when you need to find a standard color name that closely matches your custom color.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many named colors are there?
There are 147 named colors in the CSS specification, including standard colors and extended HTML color names.
How is "closest" determined?
The tool uses the CIE76 Delta E formula in LAB color space, which measures perceptual color difference as the human eye sees it. Lower Delta E means more similar.
Why doesn't my color match exactly?
Most colors don't have an exact named match. The named colors are a fixed set, and your custom color may fall between them. The tool finds the closest perceptual match.
