The Official Register of Color Names

The Official Register of Color Names (ORCN) is a unique platform dedicated to cataloging and celebrating every hue in the digital world — all 16,777,216 colors of the 24-bit RGB color space. We empower artists, designers, and color enthusiasts to register existing colors and breathe life into new ones. As an independent entity, we’re passionate about giving everyone the opportunity to provide every digital color with its own identity.

Mission – To build a comprehensive registry where every digital color is named and celebrated.

Vision – A world where every digital color is recognized and cherished by name.

Our dedicated team of color experts tirelessly collects and validates existing color names from trusted sources. By verifying each entry against reliable public sources, we ensure that our registry maintains the highest standards of accuracy. This meticulous process means you can trust that every color name in the ORCN is authentic and recognized.

At the Official Register of Color Names (ORCN), we believe that creativity knows no bounds. We invite everyone to become part of our mission by giving names to colors. By assigning a unique name to an unnamed color, you leave a personal imprint on the digital world, fostering originality and innovation. Once your color name is registered, it becomes a permanent addition to our vibrant palette, preserved indefinitely for all to appreciate. One Name, One Color. Whether you’re an artist, a designer, or simply someone with a passion for color, your contribution enriches the ORCN and the broader community.
