NameThatColor 1.0.1

Find human-readable color names for hex values

This is a little utility to give you the “human readable” color name given a hex value. Heavily based (one might even just call it a port…) on ntc.js: http://chir.ag/projects/ntc/ by Chirag Mehta.

Usage

• As a library:

  >>> from namethatcolor import NameThatColor

  >>> Namer = NameThatColor()

  >>> Namer.name(‘FFFFFF’)

  Match(hex_value=’#FFFFFF’, name=’White’, exact=True, original=’#FFFFFF’)

  >>> Namer.name(‘#FFFFFF’)

  Match(hex_value=’#FFFFFF’, name=’White’, exact=True, original=’#FFFFFF’)

  >>> Namer.name(‘aabbcc’)

  Match(hex_value=’#ADBED1’, name=’Casper’, exact=False, original=’#AABBCC’)

• As a program:

  $ namethatcolor ffffff

  {“match_hex”: “#FFFFFF”, “match_name”: “White”}
