WISH: Indicate the color names

marianco

Thank you for Color Well!

It is fantastic!

I wish it could be better by showing the names of the hex colors. This would make them more personable and identifiable instead of simply a hex code or other cod.

A common source for color names is: http://chir.ag/projects/name-that-color/#00A5E5

Thanks.

thanks for this!

I'll look into adding it to an update

I just released v6.3 which has Color names. The App Store version may take a day or 2 to be reviewed.

I found a bigger source list for names too. 16000+ Color names are supported.
Thanks for the idea

and it is now also available in the Mac App Store:

Could you look into have the picker identify the Color Name when hovering
over any color, before you make the selection?
Versus having to make the selection to identify the color.

Who is the source for the 16,000 + color data base?

What would it involve for you to add the ability to for the Color Picker to see the Color Names while it's hovering around before you Left Click select?

I think I would need to write a custom ColorPicker...
If there is any demand, I would definitely look into this.
