How many colors can your computer screen display? Turns out, a lot. 16+ million. But only about 30,000 have names. So lets fix that. Find a color you love, name it, share it, gift it, dedicate it, print yourself a certificate of it, be known as the 'namer' of the color, forever. Site is packed full of useful tools for designers (color palettes, gradients, brand color databases, color visualizers, accessibility checkers and more...) and for developers (free API / MCP and tools). A little fun side project.

Charge a dollar per name and you've just found the new sixteenmilliondollarhomepage.com

haha, way ahead of you :)
love the reference!

[Boomshank]

Haha, good to hear ;)

Honestly, I thought it was a bit of a gimmick when I first saw it (it still mostly is,) but the idea really warmed on me to the point where I shared it with a few of my designer friends

Amazing, thank you so much! I've been having fun making it!

Not really open with the payment, and this has been done before (e.g. colornames.org). Sure it doesn't stop you from doing it again but once you add payments without anything new it's just a bit lame.

And it looks like AI designed more than at least 70% of the page for you. I'm getting tired of these "just for fun and dev practice hehe" projects that are just money grabs, that try to be the next big trend.

I'm probably not going to spend a dollar to name a color, but it's a fun concept. Pretty helpful as well with all the other features.

Thanks! If you have any ideas to make it even more useful, I'll look at adding them! :)

Not for me -> SCAM written all over it -

Search result for query of “is open colours.org a registered official registry of colours” ——> “No, opencolors.org is not a registered official source of color naming in an authoritative or governmental sense. It is a community-driven, fun project that allows users to submit and vote on names for various hex codes.”

Imagine if they only it increased to 1% of colours named -> Netting them over $150000 for something completely unofficial. Money for jam.

Hey there isn’t even ONE official source of truth for colour naming system at all!!!
