Chinese Traditional Colors

About this tool

A curated palette of over 70 Chinese traditional colors — the subtle hues named in classical poetry, painting and dyeing, such as 胭脂 (rouge), 黛 (dai), 月白 (moon white), 竹青 (bamboo green), 绛紫 (deep purple) and 藕荷 (lotus). Each swatch shows the Chinese name, pinyin and its HEX value.

Click any swatch to copy its HEX code, ready to paste into CSS, design tools or documents. Use the search box to filter by Chinese name, pinyin or HEX. Everything runs locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
