💡 Practical Use Cases

Case 1: Design documentation

You need to describe color #E11D48 in your style guide.

→ Name: "Rose 600" or "Crimson"
→ More descriptive than just the HEX code

Case 2: Client communication

Client asks "what color is that?" pointing at your design.

→ Instead of "#7C3AED", say "Electric Violet"
→ Clearer and more professional communication

Case 3: Semantic CSS variables

Name color variables descriptively.

--color-coral: #FF7F50
→ More memorable than --color-1
