Description
Got an email from one Nguyen Tung asking if it would be possible to give a name suggestion for the color after a hex is supplied. Perhaps some designers don't like coming up with color names. Not sure where we'd start with this or how it might work/look, but he did supply this link and said it has an API: https://www.colorhexa.com/color-names. Maybe we could just give the name of the closest official HTML color name, although I think the emailer was wanting more unique names.
Personally when I'm making color systems, if a color is the Danger color, for example, I just call that color "red". I'm not typically looking for a clever variant like "cherry" or "ferrari" or something like that. Exception being if the brand is very expressive I may choose a naming convention that speaks to their identity.
