Hi a suggestion for web developers is to add a translation of colors to framework color names. Specifically here i mean tailwind css but, but it could be implemented for several frameworks. i have something similar as a browser extension but it be great to implement in this tool i use all the time.

Hi, I get the same suggestion. I really like to use this Color Picker but it need to can put name as color to reference it. An other cool think will be to can create folder to make multiple colors schemes / colors groupes.

Thanks for your work !

I am also here to make a similar suggestion. It could be very simple...

Here's my current process (which I have to follow, as a Colour blind person, whenever I try to work out what colour's being used!):

  1. Use this Windows PowerToys app called “ColorPicker” to tell what colour was under the cursor.
  2. Copy the HEX Colour to the Clipboard (without the #)
  3. Paste the HEX colour (WITHOUT The #) into the section of the page at https://www.color-blindness.com/color-name-hue/

An even simpler way of doing this in your code would be to just utilise a website that already exists on the web to give color details, such as: https://chir.ag/projects/name-that-color/#FFB800

This is a webpage that includes the #HEX Code end of the URL – so the PowerToys tool could just provide a link on the screen directly to the webpage of the colour chosen, by linking out to that site - just inserting the chosen Hex colour at the end of the URL. When clicked, it could just take the user to that website.

Thanks a lot for input and suggestions, it took a little longer but now you can see the name of a color (from the version 1.3.0), just enable it in the settings!
