Show HN: 17871 Color-Names & color tools
Color Picker (Klick the icon): https://codepen.io/meodai/full/mEvZRx/
Full List: https://codepen.io/meodai/full/VMpNdQ/
Color Name distribution: https://codepen.io/meodai/full/zdgXJj/ in different color spaces
As well as some tools that are related to color in general and just made a bit nicer by adding unique names to hex values:
color harmony generator: https://codepen.io/meodai/full/RerqjG,
color space explorer: https://codepen.io/meodai/full/KagxwW,
mouse position based color picker: https://codepen.io/meodai/full/bWOBja,
color name bingo: https://codepen.io/meodai/full/ZPRQZz
I am still missing lots of saturated colors. Any idea, how I could generate color values that are the furthest possible then the ones that are already there? (Something like "reverse nearest vector"?)
The repository: https://github.com/meodai/color-names There are different ways to submit new names. Via twitter (automated bot is in the making), google docs form and of course via pull request on the repository.
On every push, a list of the new colors is generated: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/meodai/color-names/master/...
Also working on a more extensive tool to explore colors in general, that will end up here https://www.color.pizza/ in a not too far future I hope ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCGUqAQcfFw
Any thoughts, inputs, critiques and of course color name submissions are welcome!
I should add that I don't do this for a particular reason other then enjoying the process of coming up with names, building color tools and optimising the whole workflow that surrounds the maintenance and publishing of the list: https://github.com/meodai/color-names/tree/master/scripts
