Tap any color, get its exact name — built for color-blind users, handy for designers. Fully on-device.

Naming a colour is genuinely useful for colour vision deficiency, which affects roughly one in twelve men — and the common red-green forms make exactly the distinctions that interfaces rely on hardest to read.

The naming itself is a nearest-match problem against a reference list, and it is less objective than it feels: languages divide the spectrum differently, and even within one language the boundary between two names is a gradient rather than a line. Which is why the exact value alongside the name matters — the name is for communicating, the hex is for reproducing.
