Show HN: Sorted CSS Colors – Sort the named CSS colors in a nice way
This is definitely a cool way of exploring CSS colors.<p>But, serious question: does anyone actually <i>use</i> CSS colors except for a handful of the basics ("red", "blue") for prototyping/debugging?<p>I mean, the idea of typing "background-color: lightsalmon;" just feels so bizarre to me.<p>Whenever I've needed to come up with colors from scratch, I'll just start with an intuitive best guess -- e.g. "hsl(30, 80%, 50%)" -- and then iterate a couple times till I get what I'm looking for.<p>It seems like even more effort to try to select colors from the CSS palette when it might turn out that there isn't even a satisfactory one. The CSS colors are still <i>extremely</i> limited. E.g. the distance between neighbors like "dark cyan" and "darkslategray" is <i>huge</i>.
