Good to know
Nearest is not exactA HEX rarely matches a named colour perfectly, so the result is the closest one. Keep the original code as the precise value.
Named colours are a small setCSS defines about a hundred and forty names, so many shades have no exact name. The tool finds the nearest, not a perfect label.
Names differ between systemsA CSS name is not the same as a Pantone, RAL or paint-brand name. Do not treat one system's label as another's.
Names for talking, codes for buildingA name is handy in a conversation or a note; the HEX is what you put in code so the colour is exact.
