It's neat! Slightly offtopic - I saw one of the colors named "peru", does the name has any connection with Peru the country?

#12Good reminder that in CSS, darkgray is a light gray and gray is a dark gray. Also presumably up is down and wet is dry.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#13This is fun! The only "bug" I see, if at all, is that the hue value does not wrap around, i.e. the colors shown at 360 are not the same colors shown at 0.
Good point, thanks for pointing it out. I think I was trying to deal with it, but for some reason I just let it be this way. Also contributions are welcome! :)

#14Some of these seem a little off, for example CADETBLUE and CYAN being next to each other. could just be my eyes or my monitor though

Not sure about that one, but dodgerblue is named after the LA Dodgers, so seems possible :-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodger_blue

Note that their hue and lightness values are almost same. The only difference is saturation and that seems to be why they are on the same row, differentiated only by the saturation axis.

#17I had no idea there were this many named colors in CSS.
Turns out there are 16 HTML colors (upped to a whoppin' 17 colors in HTML4/CSS2.1) and around 124 named colors which originally came in due to X11. Since then, several colors have been added through various standards updates for a total of around 147 colors.

#18For speed's sake could a hover or tap bring out the hex code? I understand that was not the function of your site. It would be cool to just be able to quickly see/use the hex if one is searching for color combos.

You may be familiar with this type of request: file it under "SCOPE CREEP"
