Find the Name of Any Color

CSS defines 148 named colors — like tomato, rebeccapurple, and steelblue — that you can use directly in your stylesheets. Enter any color and this tool finds the closest CSS color name, and lets you browse and search the full list.

What you get

  • The nearest named color to your input
  • A match distance (0 means exact)
  • The full searchable list of 148 names
  • One-click copy of any name or value

Why use color names

Named colors make CSS more readable and are handy for quick prototypes. For brand-critical work, use exact HEX values — names are approximate landmarks, not precise matches.

Private & Processed Locally

The lookup runs in your browser using the official W3C named-color list.
