Every full screen color

How to fill your screen with a color

Click any color above, then click the panel or press F to fill the whole display with it. Press Esc to come back. Nothing is installed, nothing is uploaded, and it works in any modern browser on a laptop, phone or tablet. Each color also has its own page with the hex, RGB, HSL and CMYK values and a plain PNG wallpaper you can download at your screen size.

Why colors are grouped by family here

The groups are computed from each color's hue rather than typed by hand, which is why crimson, salmon and ruby sit together under Red even though their names share nothing. It makes the list scannable when you know roughly what you want but not what it is called: most people looking for a deep blue-green do not know the word teal until they see it next to turquoise and jade.

Named colors, hex codes, and which you actually need

A named color is a convenience: a label attached to one specific hex value. Red on this site means #FF0000 exactly, and every use of the name gives that same value. Names are useful when you want a colour and do not care about the precise shade, and useless when you do, because two sites will disagree about what teal means. If you are matching a brand, a design file or another screen, work from the hex code and use the color picker rather than a name.

Testing a display: the order that finds the most

Black first, in a dark room, which shows pixels stuck lit and any backlight bleed leaking in at the edges. White next, which shows dead pixels, dust and any color cast in an ageing panel. Then red, green and blue in turn: each drives only its own subpixel, so a fault in one channel that is invisible on every other color becomes an obvious dark dot. The dead pixel test walks through them in that order.

Any color, not just these

The list above covers the shades people search for by name. If you need something exact, the color picker takes any hex code or lets you choose from a wheel, and the wallpaper generator will save any color as a PNG at your screen size.

Every color page carries its own values: hex, RGB, HSL, CMYK and the WCAG contrast ratios against white and black, which is what you need if you are matching a shade somewhere else rather than just filling a screen.
