Not sure why, but seems very interesting and creative. What is the logic behind it?

You click see the (?) icon to see the summary of the algorithm.

The tool generates unique, meaningful names for any RGB color using a combination of color properties. Every name is unique and reversible - you can convert any name back to its exact RGB color!

Fun! And creative.

I wish I could reverse the process, providing a hex code to see what name your system would give it.

Ah thats a good idea.

If you click on the color pallette icon, that brings up a color picker and you can choose any hex.

Is it not obvious that the icons are clickable?
