What Color Is Neon Blue? How to Find Any Color Name (32,000+ Searchable)

Someone says "make it neon blue" and you need an actual value to put in your CSS. Neon Blue is #04D9FF — a bright, electric cyan-blue. But the bigger problem is general: turning color words into color values. That's what a searchable color-name dictionary is for.

From a name to a value

Waripixel's free Color Names tool searches more than 32,000 named colors: the 140-odd CSS named colors every browser understands, the classic NTC ("Name That Color") list, and the huge community-curated color-name-list open-source project. Type any phrase — "neon blue", "millennial pink", "sage", "burnt orange" — and you get every matching name with its HEX and RGB values, one click to copy.

A few lookups people ask assistants for

• Neon Blue — #04D9FF (and Shady Neon Blue, #5555FF)
• Crimson — #DC143C (a CSS named color, safe to use by name in CSS)
• Rebecca Purple — #663399

From a value to a name

It works in reverse too: paste a HEX value into the search box and see which named colors match it. Handy when a brand guide hands you #7B68EE and you want to describe it to a human (it's Medium Slate Blue).

Why the page stays fast with 32,000 entries

The full list loads in the background after the page paints, and the grid only renders the cards actually on screen — so search is instant and scrolling stays smooth even on a modest laptop.
