Every color tool in one place

ColorName.net is a free set of online color tools built around one idea: whatever you know about a color — its name, its hex code, a pixel in a screenshot — you should be able to get everything else in a click. Type a name like teal or a hex code like #008080 into the search above and you get the color's exact values, its closest standard name, its harmonies and a shortcut into the right tool. There is no sign-up, nothing to install, and every calculation runs in your browser, so the tools work offline and never upload what you enter.

The color picker covers hex, RGB, HSL, HSV, CMYK and OKLCH with live harmonies and shade ramps; the converter and the dedicated RGB to hex and hex to RGB pages handle format changes; the palette generator and color wheel turn one seed color into a full scheme; and the gradient creator and color mixer build blends you can paste straight into CSS. For accessibility, the contrast checker tests any pairing against WCAG AA and AAA, and the color blindness simulator previews a design under eight kinds of color-vision deficiency.

Working from an image? The image color picker is an online eyedropper for any photo or screenshot, and color name from image tells you what a color is called. Need a plain field of color? The color screen tool fills your whole display with any solid color — a white screen for checking a monitor for dead pixels, a black screen to save OLED battery, a green screen for video — and downloads it in 1080p, 4K or a custom size. Beyond the tools, the color library gives every one of 245+ named colors its own page, the 140 CSS color names reference has the standard browser keywords, and the chart pages cover Tailwind CSS, Material Design, Flat UI, the 216 web-safe colors and Minecraft color codes.
