Name this Color

Gives your colors a human-friendly name, inspired and powered by Name that Color from Chirag Mehta.

Motivation

Name this Color is incredibly useful when you are structuring your color palettes, no matter if it is for your design tool or CSS. Especially for CSS pre-processors like Sass or Less, this module will help you to get a very well structure on naming your colors.

The biggest pain is when you are trying to get your exact shade for #eecd11 by calling your Sass variable $a-bit-lighter-than-middle-light-orange for instance. This module would provide you a smarter name like ripe-lemon.

Installation

npm install name-this-color --save-dev

Usage

This module supports the one-color API of how you pass the color. The method returns an array of color objects.

var nameThisColor = require('name-this-color');
 
nameThisColor('#0088aa'); // or '#08a', '0088aa', '0088AA'
// => [{ hex: '#0088aa', title: 'Deep Cerulean', match: false, name: 'deep-cerulean' }]
 
nameThisColor('rgb(255, 0, 0)'); // or 'red', 'rgb(100%, 0%, 0%, .5)'
// => [{ hex: '#ff0000', title: 'Red', match: true, name: 'red' }]
 
nameThisColor(['#0088aa', '#8800aa', '#aa8800', '#aa0088']);
/** =>
 [{
   hex: '#0088aa',
   title: 'Deep Cerulean',
   match: false,
   name: 'deep-cerulean'
 }, {
   hex: '#8800aa',
   title: 'Purple',
   match: false,
   name: 'purple'
 }, {
   hex: '#aa8800',
   title: 'Pirate Gold',
   match: false,
   name: 'pirate-gold'
 }, {
