Color Name

I am a big fan of zss, by convention you are not allowed to use a hexadecimal value for a color. Every color needs to be converted to a name. I am used to consult the website color-blindness.com for this. As an exercise to get acquainted with puppeteer, I created this script to get the name of a color using the commandline.

This script uses the form on www.color-blindness.com to get the name of a color.

Install

The script requires nodejs >= 8. Install the script npm install git+https://github.com/joppe/color-name.git. The script can now be used by typing node_modules/.bin/color-name f03455.

If you want to use the script system wide, just add --global to the npm install command.

Configuration

There is a config.json in the config folder. There is only one option and that is noSandbox. If you run in the problem that when the script is executed you see an error message in the form of No usable sandbox! Update your kernel. Then set the property to true, now the script should execute normally.

Run

In a console type node_modules/.bin/color-name f03455 and press enter. After a short delay the color will be displayed. You can enter multiple colors by separating them with spaces.
