Web-app and javascript plugin that generates a color description based on a hex color code. We made this for to have screenreader support for reading out color names on another app.

@roseglore I love the existing hex names provided in different lists like the one you have shared here. I made this other logic to be able to provide some less specific descriptions that make use of the most well known color names, so I think both types of lists have their use for different situations. Thanks for sharing the one you use 👍

We made this color function to have screenreader support for reading out color names on the remembertostand.com web-app (Turn on screenreader and press C when on that site to hear it in action). Once we made it, we thought it might be useful to others, so we decided to share it as a stand-alone web-app and as a javascript-library.

I would love to see this integrated into like… pretty much every app I use! Great work!

I second what @nemish_kanwar suggested. Say my customer asks for a minty green, and up pops a few hex choices

@nemish_kanwar @gregory_wehmeyer Thanks for your comment! That is a great use case example for a reverse logic. It seems like a different challenge than what this app is currently doing, but it might be possible to use a similar logic in reverse to provide hex color ideas based on natural language color descriptions. It would probably need to be able to catch more synonyms and approximate descriptions (mint green, minty green, mint-ish green, etc.) to be useful for doing the reverse translation. Let me think about whether one might be able to use this same logic for something like that 👌
