32,258 real, sourced color names — merged from the open meodai/color-names project and the xkcd color survey. Every name points at a real swatch. Filter by first letter.
The 32,258 named colors merge two open datasets: meodai/color-names (MIT) and the xkcd color survey, deduplicated and grouped into 12 families. Everything is free to download as CSV.
How do I find a name for a color?
Type a HEX value or a descriptive word into the search bar, or browse the 12 family pages. The color distribution report (/stats) adds lightness and saturation breakdowns to help you locate the right band.
Can I use these names commercially?
The source data carries MIT-style open licenses, so commercial use and redistribution are fine. Our classification and statistics layers are free too — grab the CSV or use the REST API on the developers page.
