I searched blue and it returned some tan and green colors (but not bluish green or greenish blue).

I searched naked, expecting skin colors (I was wondering if it would tend to show "white" skin colors instead of a range of skin colors). The results were... strange.

I really like this! Searching for 'sea foam green' gave me exactly what I thought.

That being said, personally, I would prefer something original instead of "Google, but for colors.". just my two cents.

In case anyone is wondering how this works, it does a google image search and then extracts the primary color of each result. That’s why you see unexpected colors like grey for “heart”: image search returns black and white hearts.

that's actually a pretty terrible way of handling it. There are libraries a' plenty that achieve this without scraping google.
