Hex to color name

Question

I want to tag color names based on hex or rgb values. I found this amazing site ( http://www.color-blindness.com/color-name-hue/ ) but the thing is there are so many color names and main color hues are insufficient. I would love to have a solution to name RGB or HEX for like 40-50 well known colors.

Any idea will help me, thank you

thank you! My question is, what if my color code falls in between of two tagged colors, I guess it won't tag right? – Çağan Aceter Jun 10 '18 at 22:20
you could then tag in similar color – Reda Meskali Jun 10 '18 at 22:59

I wrote a command-line tool that does exactly that: Cict

Example:

$ ./cict 000081
1   #000080 navyblue

As you can see, you simple pass a 24-bit hex-value to cict and it reports the distance to the color found (1 in this case), the value of the actual color (#000080) and the name (navyblue).
