I think that it'd be useful to add a Name: section where to put the name of the color if it has one. Also, I think that hiding it from the most similar list makes sense because it is that color after all.

I have played around with this idea a bit and came up with

If you think that's something worth having then I'm happy to submit a PR, otherwise feel free to close this issue. Let me know what you think.

Thank you for the feedback.

I have been thinking about a similar feature. From a "UI" perspective, an alternative would be to show a marker (e.g. *) after the color name or to highlight the "red" entry in the "Most similar" list. This way, the output would always have the same shape.

But I also like your suggestion. Showing only two entries in the "most similar" list - like in your screenshot - keeps the symmetry.

If you would like to experiment with this, I'd be happy to take a PR :+1:
