Named CSS Colors 🎨

Color Palette ThumbnailHappy Saint Valentine’s Day! Red is the common color of the day, but which shade of red? That’s the point of this post. First, it’s to show that there’s progress on the “Photics Web Guide”. It’s a tough project, but this might be the best Photics book yet! But while working on the CSS chapter of the book, I thought it would be cool to be able to arrange the “Named Colors” by their colors. Well, now you can do that, as the data has been organized in a sortable table.

These colors can be arranged in order of Name, Red, Green, Blue, Hue, Saturation, or Luminosity.
