What is the CSS Color Names Finder?

CSS Color Names Finder helps you search the standard CSS named colors by name or by color value, then instantly shows the closest named match.

Use it when you have a hex, RGB, or HSL color and want the nearest human-readable CSS color name for design reviews, documentation, or quick debugging.

How it works

CSS Color Names Finder works entirely in the browser.

It accepts a CSS color name, hex value, RGB value, or HSL value, then normalizes the input and compares it against the CSS named-color list. Exact matches are detected first, and non-exact inputs are ranked by distance to the nearest named color.

The tool also includes a browsable catalog of named colors so you can scan the full palette, compare swatches, and copy values quickly.
