How accurate is the color name matching?

The tool uses CIEDE2000 color distance formulas to find the closest matches. Results include confidence scores indicating how closely the input color matches the named color.

What color naming systems are supported?

The tool searches across multiple color naming systems including X11 web colors, CSS named colors, Pantone references, and traditional color name databases.

Why doesn't my exact color have a name?

Color naming systems are limited to a finite set of named colors. Many digital colors don't have official names, especially custom brand colors or complex gradients.

Can I search for colors by name?

Currently the tool finds names for given color values. You can use color picker tools to select colors and then find their names.

Are the color names standardized?

Color names can vary between different systems and cultures. The tool provides the most commonly accepted names for each color.

How do I know if a color match is good?

Check the confidence score and visually compare the original color with the named color. Higher confidence scores indicate better matches.
