Being a typical guy, Chirag Mehta have no clue what the colors Lavender and Mauve look like. You can show him Indigo and he won’t know if it’s more like Violet or Purple. So he made this little app called Name that Color where you can create a color on the screen (or copy-paste CSS hex# color) and find out the name of the closest matching color. I did not realise there are so many colors you can actaully call them until I saw Name that Color…If you want to incorporate the same facility into your website or project, you may download a copy and use it as you wish.

We are now be able to style File input buttons as well.
