Is that possible to map a color to a color name like below:
light blue = #FF8000
The orginal color for this hex value #FF8000 is light orange
I need to map this value #FF8000 to light blue
Simple answer: No it’s not possible. The html-colornames are bound to a fixed Hex-value as defined in the Specification. The browsers automatically convert keywords like
lightblueto this specific Hex-value (or RGB but that doesn’t matter). You cannot change this behaviour.Although you could use your own color-words like
lightBlueand parse the stylesheets via javascript and apply the colors according to your own definitions.Alternatively you can work with variables in SASS/LESS if that’s what you want.
And btw, Simple question: WHY?
