"What was the name of this color? Is neither "red" nor "blue". It's a name more subtle."
Color names are not just signes. They are delicate, emotional, and can evoke forgotten memories. With this app, you can find the ancient name of the color of a photo.

This app has a Japanese traditional color pallete containing 712 colors. Each color has RGB value and its ancient name.
For example, clicking the image above, the closest color to the color used most in the picture is searched from the palette, and its tranditional name is displayed. The background color is the found color.
The closeness of colors in the pallet to the color in the picture is assessed based on the distance between 3D cordinates of rgb values.
If the main color of a picture is a, color c is closer than color b.
