Very cool. Please add permalinks/history state, so we can share specific hue or colors. Thanks!
Looks like it's on Github, you could submit a pull request to add those things :)

#122It is cool to get 5 matching colors but I'm a dope for design, so I have no idea how to work with that.

Code is poetry when written as such, Words in stead of numbers add a nice touch Those who treat it as craft and an art May find that named colors are a good start.
So whether your colors be blue Or red or lightsalmon or yew Remember that if life is rough Just add in a little more peachpuff!

#124This is definitely a cool way of exploring CSS colors. But, serious question: does anyone actually use CSS colors except for a handful of the basics ("red", "blue") for prototyping/debugging? I mean, the idea of typing "background-color: lightsalmon;" just feels so bizarre to me. Whenever I've needed to come up with colors from scratch, I'll just start with an intuitive best guess -- e.g. "hsl(30, 80%, 50%)" -- and t…

that you could use something like LESS,
to substitute code arbitrarily,
for the readable name that's there really.

A good IDE will show a color preview https://code.visualstudio.com/assets/docs/languages/css/colo...
Awesome if you're in your office on your usual work computer. Not great if you're in the field trying to make quick fixes on whatever terminal a client provides.

I prefer to use named colors in my own CSS layouts. "lightsalmon" is more descriptive to me than "#FFA07A" or "rgb(255, 160, 122)" or "hsl(17, 100%, 73.9%)" at a glance.
Re: Show HN: Sorted CSS Colors – Sort the named CSS colors in a nice way
#127The idea was to create a tool to sort the named CSS colors in a way that it shows related colors together. So, next time I can't decide between a few CSS colors, I can just check them here side by side. I've created this tool last summer, but I hadn't shared it here back then. It's a PWA that I made with pure JS.
Awesome! Could you possibly implement a double-click to clipboard copy option?

#128Good reminder that in CSS, darkgray is a light gray and gray is a dark gray. Also presumably up is down and wet is dry.

That's fun. I've coded this useless tool based on your comment: "What's Your HTML Color ?"[0] [0]: https://onivers.com/color.html
