Get Hex Code by Color Name

This feature allows you to retrieve the RGB values of a color by providing its name as a key. The output is an array of RGB values.

console.log(colorName['red']); // Outputs: [255, 0, 0]

Check if Color Name Exists

This feature allows you to check if a color name exists within the package's mapping by checking if the key is defined.

"use strict";
const colorName = require('color-name');
