A B Sea
Resene B47-087-258
RGB 51, 80, 131
Resene suggests Jeepers Creepers and Giggle as companion colors for A B Sea, giving a starting point for a coordinated palette.
Every color on a screen is a mix of red, green and blue light, written as an RGB value such as 240, 248, 255 for Alice Blue or as a hex code such as #F0F8FF. This list gathers 13,951 named colors from web colors, paint makers, Pantone and the xkcd color survey, each on a swatch with its RGB value, hex code, shade and maker. It starts with A, and each next letter loads as you scroll.
How this list works: sources, RGB and hex codes, and shades
What the list covers
The list covers the named colors of the web, the colors every browser knows by name, with the numbered variants of the X11 color list they grew from; brand colors whose owners publish their screen values, such as Android Green; the paint colors of Resene, Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, Behr, Dunn-Edwards, PPG, Glidden, Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, Dulux Australia, Asian Paints, Nerolac and Jotun, each with the screen value its maker publishes; Pantone’s cotton (TCX) colors for fashion and interiors and a few of its paper (TPG) colors, with the screen values a Pantone dealer publishes; a few Crayola colors; and the color names of the xkcd color survey, a 2010 online survey in which people named colors shown on their screens. Pantone sells its own screen values under license, so its rows give a dealer’s screen approximation; match a physical Pantone guide when an exact color matters. RAL offers its screen values in licensed digital libraries, which this edition does not use, so RAL names are left out rather than shown with values copied from other sites. A few Crayola colors are included where Crayola’s own website shows the value; these are screen previews, not measurements of the crayons. A screen value is a maker’s published digital approximation, so paint on a wall looks different in daylight and lamplight, and on a different finish.
Letters go live one at a time; colors starting with A and B were checked on Oct. 11, 2026.
One name, several colors
The same name often belongs to several makers, each with its own color. Afterglow, for one, is a golden ochre at Resene, a soft apricot at Sherwin-Williams, a pale lemon at Dunn-Edwards and a cream in Pantone’s range. That is normal: every maker names its own colors, and no body controls color names. So each version gets its own plate, and the line under the name says whose color it is.
How color is measured: RGB and hex codes
A screen makes every color from three lights: red, green and blue. In the 8-bit sRGB system used on the web, each is set to a number from 0, off, to 255, full strength, and the three numbers together are the RGB value. 0, 0, 0 is black, 255, 255, 255 is white, and 255, 0, 0 is the most saturated red sRGB can show. That gives 256 × 256 × 256, or 16,777,216, possible codes, which is a count of codes rather than of every color the eye can see; screens also differ in the colors they can show.
A hex code writes the same three numbers in base 16, the counting system with the digits 0 to 9 and A to F, two digits for each light, after a # sign. Alice Blue shows how it works:
Red240= F0Green248= F8Blue255= FFHex#F0F8FFAlice Blue
240 is 15 sixteens and 0 ones, and 15 is written F, so 240 becomes F0. A paint chip is a different thing: it reflects light rather than giving it off, so a paint maker’s RGB value is a published digital approximation of the paint, not the paint itself, and a hex code is not an ink or paint recipe.
Some paint notes give a light reflectance value (LRV): the share of light a painted surface reflects, on a scale of 0 to 100. A color has a note only when there is a fact worth telling, such as where its name comes from or how its maker describes it.
How each color gets its shade
Each color gets exactly one shade, worked out from its RGB value rather than from its name. The value is first read in OKLCH, a perceptual color model that approximates how the eye judges lightness (L), chroma or colorfulness (C) and hue (h); OKLCH gives the coordinates, and the twelve shades are GKBook’s own browsing convention. A color with low chroma is white when very light, black when very dark and gray otherwise, and a very light color with only a faint tint counts as white. Every other color is placed by its hue on the wheel below. Reds, oranges and yellows that are dark or muted count as brown, which is why beige, tan and taupe land there; light reds count as pink; and in the band between purple and red, light colors count as pink and darker ones as purple. Every color in the list is then checked by eye against these definitions, and where the eye and the rule differ, the checked shade is used: a blue gray with a clear blue cast goes to blue, a golden mustard to yellow and an olive to green or brown as it looks. Alice Blue and Azure, two web colors, are such pale tints that they are grouped with white; their blue and cyan casts show on their swatches.
Each shade has its own page: Black, Blue, Brown, Gray, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, Violet, White, Yellow.

Alabaster usually means a fine grained gypsum stone used for carving; in ancient Egyptian art the name also covers a calcite stone.

The word has stood for whiteness and smoothness since the 1570s. Resene presents Alabaster as white softened by a slight gray influence, rather than a pure digital white.

Amber, the material, is fossilized tree resin and can preserve plant or animal remains. The commercial color is a named interpretation, not a mineral composition.

Amethyst

Frequently asked questions
What colors start with the letter A?
Well-known ones include Alice Blue, Antique White, Aqua, Aquamarine, Azure, and paint and fashion colors such as Alabaster, Agreeable Gray, Aegean Teal, Amber and Apricot. This page lists 635 colors starting with A, each with its RGB value, hex code and shade.
What is the RGB value of Alice Blue?
Alice Blue is RGB 240, 248, 255, written #F0F8FF as a hex code. It is one of the named colors every web browser knows.
Why does the same color name have different values?
Every paint maker and color system names its own colors, so Afterglow from one maker is not Afterglow from another. The list shows each version on its own plate with the maker named under it.
Are the Pantone values official?
No. Pantone sells its own screen values under license, so this list gives the values a Pantone dealer publishes for each cotton (TCX) color and for a few paper (TPG) colors, as screen approximations. Use a physical Pantone guide when an exact match matters.
Are RAL and Crayola colors included?
RAL colors are not: RAL offers its screen values in licensed digital libraries, which this edition does not use, and values copied by other sites can be wrong. Some Crayola colors are, where Crayola's own website shows the value. Those are screen previews rather than measurements of the crayons, and more Crayola colors will be added as they are checked.
How does GKBook decide the shade of a color?
A rule reads the RGB value in the OKLCH color model, not the name, and every color is then checked by eye: colors with low chroma are white, gray or black; the rest are placed by their hue, and dark or muted reds, oranges and yellows count as brown. The rule and its wheel are shown on this page.
Will the paint on a wall match the color on screen?
Not exactly. A screen value is the paint maker's best match for a screen; paint looks different under daylight, lamps and in the sample size, so check a real sample before you buy.
