   A great idea!

   To me, it seems that colornames.org is the equivalent of wikipedia.org but for colors.

   👍 Pros:    Simple|Easy to use

• Grayfruit Official Colors Update

  For those who haven't seen the original post, TL;DR colornames.org allows you to name all the colors of the RGB 255 spectrum. We worked to get the names of the colors that make up the grayfruit logo to be the top names for those colors. I have two updates on the situation. Source: about 1 year ago

• Why can we imagine new words, creatures, architectures, but not colors?

  How about imagining new words/names for colors? Check out this Naming Colors website. It can be fun & eye opening in terms of how different people see the same color. Source: about 1 year ago

• How does color get its name?

  There are some standard names for some hex codes which you can see a list of here. I would recommend against using any of the more distinctive colour names (e.g. Alice Blue) on this list unless refering to these exact hex codes. Otherwise call it whatever you want to within reason. There are plenty of colour lists around which you can use as inspiration. When creating a palette for a company it's very common to... Source: about 1 year ago

• Guess the colour, right answers only

  Interesting fact, there’s a website where you can name new colours. Some of the suggestions are hilarious. Source: over 1 year ago

• Hi guys i made a personal portfolio website. How would y'all rate it

  Find a more pleasing set of colors to work with. The light gray font against a white background on your landing page is very difficult to read. If you need help finding colors that work well together try looking at Adobe's Color page, its REALLY useful: https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel. Source: 6 months ago

• How do you pick paint colors that go well together, that aren't just different shades

  I often use tools like this interactive adobe color wheel when oil painting or doing graphic design. It lets you pick a specific color, and then get analogous, complimentary, split complimentary, or other groups of colors Is there something similar that can be used for paint colors from specific brands?

• New to digital art, any advice?

  Also, the colors are a bit bright and (in my personal opinion, don't know your character) don't match well. There are plenty of sites that can give pretty decent palettes if you don't have anything specific in mind, and can filter for specific colors if you're in, say, a green mood. Adobe Color and Coolors are the ones I use most often. Source: 6 months ago

• Color Appearance and the End of Hering’s Opponent-Colors Theory

  > I'd love to code up a machine learning project that showed the user many color combinations. I teach painting in an art school. The huge problem with almost all pallet choosing apps (e.g. Adobe's https://color.adobe.com/) is that they produce swatches: a small collection of discreet color values (e.g. red, green and yellow). These would present as peaks in a hue histogram. These swatches would be great for... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• I suck at choosing color I have watched video on color theory and i can't find the right combination. any suggestion

  Once you chose a principal color for your project, simply use one of all color harmony rules that exist to find the other colors. Check this color harmony finder from Adobe. Source: 11 months ago
