Paste any color code to find its closest name from a library of about 5,000 named colors, see how close the match is, and browse similar names. You can also search names to find the HEX code of “sage”, “navy” or “dusty rose”.

How to use the color name finder
- Paste a HEX, RGB or HSL color, or pick one.
- See its closest color name and match percentage.
- Browse similar named colors, or search names to find their codes.
Where do the names come from?
Names come from the open-source color-names project (MIT). Matching uses the perceptual OKLab distance, so the closest name is the one that looks closest, not just the nearest numbers.
