Personally, the nice thing about a color name (maybe not <i>these</i> color names) is that it tells you what it&#x27;s supposed to look like.  So if you want a tomato color, you can use &quot;tomato&quot;, and not worry that your monitor is or isn&#x27;t calibrated correctly.<p>If you&#x27;re at all color blind, trying to design using color codes is probably an exercise in frustration.<p>Maybe what you need is a separate tool that tells you what that specific color code most looks like, sort of like xkcd&#x27;s color survey:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.xkcd.com&#x2F;2010&#x2F;05&#x2F;03&#x2F;color-survey-results&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.xkcd.com&#x2F;2010&#x2F;05&#x2F;03&#x2F;color-survey-results&#x2F;</a>
