python colornames
v1.1.0
A Python library for finding the names of colors.
The colornames library gives you the name of any RGB color. If the exact color you're looking for doesn't have a name, it'll find the closest match instead.
PyPI: pycolornames
pip install pycolornamesA single function, find, is exposed by the library. It finds the name of a given color.
>>> import colornames
>>> colornames.find(255, 255, 255) # Decimal RGB
'White'
>>> colornames.find('#3e3e3e') # Hexadecimal notation
'Dune'
>>> colornames.find('#abc') # Shorthand hexadecimal
'Cadet Blue'
>>> colornames.find('f5f5f5') # Optional '#' prefix
'Wild Sand'
>>> colornames.find((123, 12, 1)) # Decimal RGB as a tuple
