I am a very bad designer but good verbally, and when I design, color names are how I remember differences
I especially like hue.tools -- not sure where they sourced their name set, but combos like gecko's dream + blood rush (interpolating to mochaccino) make life easier
people like me should 100% stick to backend and never produce anything that other people have to look at, but until I can afford a designer, the names keep me in the game
I wish sometimes for a database of 'product colors through the ages', with tags by brand identity and broad style family -- as an infant brand designer, this would help me a lot
- webstrand 4y agoThat's a nice tool. Can you actually pick colors by name, with that tool? I wanted to see what color someone would call "gecko's dream".
- awinter-py 4y agoI don't think it has a reverse lookup, but if you've ever owned a gecko you've probably seen this color IRL
- stuxnet 4y agoLooks to be #669900. I was curious as well.
- webstrand 4y agoLooks like they get their color names from <https://www.npmjs.com/package/color-name-list https://www.npmjs.com/package/color-name-list>, they're partially crowd-sourced.
- awinter-py 4y agothank you! also wow the source list on there + the color space viz are great. this is a top 10 readme
