OpenColors

Global color-naming registry with a free API and tools for palettes and accessibility checks.

PlatformWebfreeglobal

OpenColors is a Global Color Registry aiming to name all of the more than 16 million displayable colors, of which only about 30,000 currently have official names, offering a free API and MCP for builders and designers. It also provides free tools like color palette generators, brand color databases, color blindness checks, and accessibility checks. It's aimed at designers, developers, and brands who need more than an ad hoc approach to naming and working with color.
