HEX to Colortone Converter

HEX to Colortone Converter helps you find the closest named color matches based on your input HEX code. This tool uses the CIEDE2000 color difference formula to calculate perceptually accurate matches from an open, public-domain color name database.

Hex values are the most popular way of representing colors in digital design. This tool converts your hex code into meaningful color names with accuracy ratings (Delta E values).

Unlike static lookup tables, this converter uses advanced color science to find the most visually similar colors from a database of ~200 standard named colors.

About Delta E (ΔE)

Delta E measures the perceived difference between two colors. Lower values mean closer matches:

• ΔE < 1: Exact match - indistinguishable to most people
• ΔE 1-2: Excellent - very close match
• ΔE 2-5: Very good - slight difference noticeable to trained eye
• ΔE 5-10: Good - noticeable difference
• ΔE > 10: Approximate - visible difference
