How color names work

This generator analyzes hue angle, saturation, and lightness to produce names aligned with color theory traditions. Lightness descriptors (pale, soft, deep) map to Tailwind-style scale steps. Hue word pools draw from gemology, botany, and natural phenomena — the same sources used in professional color naming systems from Pantone to Benjamin Moore. Design token names follow the semantic/primitive pattern used in modern design systems.
