Questions
Who is this for?
People with color blindness who want to know what a color is called: clothes, paint, food, cables and charts.
Why plain names instead of HEX?
A HEX code does not say whether a shirt is gray or pink. Plain names like light gray or dusty pink do.
Is it a diagnosis tool?
No. To check your color vision, take the color blind test, and see an eye doctor for a diagnosis.
