The annoyance that started this: someone sends you a hex code, and you want to know what to actually call it. #D6B3C0 is Mauvelous. Now you know.
Paste a hex, a three-digit hex, or RGB and it gives you the name. If the color has no name of its own, it finds the nearest one using CIEDE2000 instead of plain RGB distance.
24,648 names pulled from five open databases, including CSS Color Level 4, X11 and Wikidata. There is a contrast checker and conversions in there too.
