Color Name Finder

Find the closest name for any color, with its copy-ready HEX match.

Closest named color

What does the color name finder do?

Enter a HEX code or pick a color and it returns the closest recognised color name, from common ones like Royal Blue to more specific shades. It is the quick way to put a word to a color you only have as a number.

How to use it

Pick a color with the sliders or type a HEX code.
Read the closest named match and how exact it is.
Copy the name or the matched HEX.

When a name helps

Naming a color is useful for documenting a brand palette, briefing a client, or labelling swatches in a design file. For a print-oriented, Pantone-style match instead, use the Pantone-Style Picker.

How close is the match?

The tool finds the nearest name by color distance and tells you whether it is an exact or approximate match.

Can I search by name?

Enter a known color name and it will resolve to its HEX, then show the nearest catalogued match.
