Named Color Explorer
Search common CSS named colors and copy their hex values.
Browse CSS named colors
CSS has 140-plus named colors, from the familiar to the obscure, and it is easier to browse them than to remember which is which. This explorer lets you search the named colors and copy their hex values so you can use the exact one you want.
Named colors are handy for quick prototypes and readable CSS, and seeing them together helps you pick the right starting point. Search by name, preview the swatch, and copy either the name or its hex.
Browse, do not memorize
With 140-plus named colors it is faster to scan them alongside their hex values than to recall which is which. The explorer runs in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
What does the named color explorer do?
It filters a table of common CSS named colors and shows their hex values as swatches.
How many named colors are included?
25 common ones, such as coral, crimson, navy, salmon, slategray, and tomato. CSS defines about 148 named colors in total.
Can I search by hex value?
Yes. The search matches names and hex codes, so typing "ff" shows every color containing ff in its hex value.
Should I use named colors in production CSS?
They are fine for prototypes and quick demos, but brand colors usually need exact hex values. Names like "green" (#008000) are also darker than many people expect.
