That hex you just picked has a name in someone’s dictionary, “robin egg blue”, “hot pink”, a word that beats “#74B9C1” in a design meeting. Naming colors makes them discussable, and finding the name is a lookup, not a talent.
Enter any HEX to find its closest CSS named color by distance. Use the name in conversation and the hex in code, so the design reviewers say “the teal” instead of “the thing at position four”.
