Name Color

What It Does

The Name Color node identifies the closest standard CSS color name for any color. It compares the input color to all named web colors and returns the name with the smallest perceptual difference.

Inputs

Name	Description	Type	Required
Color	The color to identify	Color	Yes

Outputs

Name	Description	Type
Value	The name of the closest matching CSS color	String

How to Use It

1. Drag the Name Color node into your graph.

2. Connect any color to the "Color" input (like #E91BCB).

3. The node will automatically find the closest CSS color name.

4. The output will be a string like "fuchsia", "mediumorchid", or "firebrick".

Tips

• This node uses perceptual distance (Delta E) for matching to available CSS colors and provide accurate naming.

• CSS named colors are limited, so the result might not be an exact match.
