Color Names

Modern computer screens are worlds apart from their CGA, EGA and even VGA predecessors but they still can not accurately display all of the subtle colors found in nature. In an effort to help our users match up different products, we analyze the colors we find within the pictures.

The colors that are displayed are the top found, unless we find one rather dominant color and then we show only that one color. Along with the name of the specific color we discovered we also display the color family as one of blue, green, red, white, black, orange, violet. While not perfect and still relying on a computerized image, it will help to determine some of the subtle differences between different colors. Additional technical details can be found here.

Here are the color names we've decided to use:
