A reference list of named hex colors, grouped by color family.
The simple way: preview a color
In the color reference grid below, click the text of a color row (its hex value or name) — but not its checkbox. The page background changes to that color so you can preview it. Click anywhere on the empty background to reset it back to white.
The advanced way: build a palette
You can also have this page help you assemble a palette of colors. Add colors in either of two ways:
- (A) Type them in — enter the hex values or color names you already use in the “Selected colors” box below.
- (B) Check them off — tick the checkbox on any color row in the grid further down.
Either way, a swatch appears for each selected color next to the “Selected colors” box. Click a swatch to fill the page background with that color; click the empty background to reset it to white. When you’re done, copy the text from the “Selected colors” box to use in your own code.
