color-name-list

color-names 🎨

A handpicked list of color names from various sources and thousands of user submissions. Try it yourself or read the full list.

The names of color function like a thread attached to a frightfully slender needle, capable of stitching together our most delicate emotions and memories. When the needle hits the target, we feel either pleasure or emathy. Kenya Hara – White

Process 📋

My goal is to create a as big as possible color name list. I merged different lists, modified the names when they where the same but had different hex values, and I shifted the colors a bit when the same color had different names but the same value.
