Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are the color names?
Our color naming database is extensive and covers thousands of named colors. When using exact matching, you'll get the precisely named color if it exists in our database. With fuzzy matching enabled, we use color distance algorithms to find the closest visual matches, providing names that are perceptually similar to your input color.
Why are there multiple names for similar colors?
Color naming is both technical and creative. Different color systems, brands, and industries may use different names for very similar colors. Our tool gives you multiple options so you can choose the name that best fits your project's context and style.
Can I use these color names in commercial projects?
Yes! The color names provided by our tool are for informational and creative purposes. You're free to use these names in your projects, both personal and commercial. Just be aware that some specific color names might be trademarked by certain brands in specific industries.
