Combine similar colors and name them
Use Magic Clean to reduce duplicates and Rename to give every color a consistent name.
Goal
Turn a long raw color list into a short, consistently named one.
Before you start
- A color list in Color Extractly.
Steps
- Open Magic Clean Click Magic Clean above the color list.
- Choose how to combine Under Combine by pick Similar Color Codes, Same Color Code or Same Variable Name.
- Reduce With Similar Color Codes, move the Threshold slider. Then click Reduce.
- Undo if needed Click Undo to return to the list as it was before the last Magic Clean.
- Rename Click Rename and choose a Preset: Color family + scale, Smart name + scale, Smart name + 2-digit index, Hex + scale, Full path + scale or Full path only. For your own pattern edit the Template with tokens such as $name, $colorTone, $full and $count. Then click Run Rename.
Tips
- Names are generated on your device: Color Extractly compares each color with a built-in color-name dictionary.
Result
A shorter list in which every color carries a consistent name.
Common questions
Where do the color names come from?
Color Extractly generates them itself, by comparing each color's HSL values with a built-in color-name dictionary. It does not look names up on a website.
