About the Color Thesaurus
When I write, I often find myself searching for a better, more descriptive word for a color. Finding appropriate synonyms comes up as an issue more often than you might think. Ingrid Sundberg already created a fantastic version years ago. However, I found myself frustrated that, as they are images, I could not copy and paste the words. Also, the selection seemed geared a little heavily toward food, which was not my preference.
So here I've built my own, I hope you find it helpful. Click the buttons at the top to sort by color or tone. As you hover over the tiles (or tap on mobile), you can see the hex color for that specific shade.
The interface is powered by Isotope. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Thanks!
