Show HN: Unique, Human-Friendly Names for Every Color (All 16.7M of Them)
- marssaxman 2y agoFun! And creative. I wish I could reverse the process, providing a hex code to see what name your system would give it.
- shabda 2y agoAh thats a good idea. If you click on the color pallette icon, that brings up a color picker and you can choose any hex. Is it not obvious that the icons are clickable?
- marssaxman 2y agoYes, it was obvious that the icons are clickable, and I did see the color picker - but it was a very simple color picker, just a grid of color tiles. Now that you mention it, I realize that there is a second, more advanced color picker, available behind the "+" button in the first picker, and there I can type in hex. I am guessing that the features of the color picker are determined by the browser, and not by your site?
- shabda 2y agoThats right. We use the browser color picker.
- timz 2y agoNot sure why, but seems very interesting and creative. What is the logic behind it?
- shabda 2y agoYou click see the (?) icon to see the summary of the algorithm. The tool generates unique, meaningful names for any RGB color using a combination of color properties. Every name is unique and reversible - you can convert any name back to its exact RGB color!
