Understanding Color Names and Lists

What are HTML Color Names?

HTML color names are a set of 140+ standardized keywords that are recognized by web browsers to represent specific colors. For example, instead of using the HEX code #FF0000, you can simply use the name Red in your CSS. Our tool's HTML list helps you identify and use these official names correctly.

Beyond the Basics: Our 19,000+ Color Name List

While the HTML list is practical, it's limited. Our comprehensive all color name list is aggregated from multiple naming conventions and creative libraries. This provides much more descriptive and nuanced names (like "Fiery Garnet" instead of just "dark red"), giving you a richer vocabulary to work with.

HEX, RGB, & HSL Explained

  • HEX (Hexadecimal): A six-digit code preceded by a '#' that represents the mix of Red, Green, and Blue. It's the most common format for web design.
  • RGB (Red, Green, Blue): Represents a color by the intensity of its red, green, and blue components, each ranging from 0 to 255.
  • HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness): Represents a color by its position on the color wheel (Hue), its vibrancy (Saturation), and its brightness (Lightness).
