this is very neat...it won't let me clip the actual tool (way too many characters over) but it will let you select a color name from a list and you can see the color, or you can move around a color wheel and see the color you made name...very neat

You can show me Indigo and I won't know if it's more like Violet or Purple. So I made this little app where you can create a color on the screen (or copy-paste CSS hex# color) and find out the name of the closest matching color.</LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://chir.ag/phernalia/name-that-color/"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">You can also select from the dropdown list of 1500+ colors and then play around.</LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://chir.ag/phernalia/name-that-color/"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">The color names in this list were found via <A target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors">Wikipedia</A>, <A target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Crayola_crayon_colors">Crayola</A>, and <A target="_blank" href="http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~jaffer/Color/Dictionaries.html">Color-Name Dictionaries</A> like <A target="_blank" href="http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~jaffer/Color/resenecolours.txt">Resene</A>.</LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://chir.ag/phernalia/name-that-color/"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">This tool is simply for fun and personal use.
