How to get the name of color from hexadecimal code in java?

Question

I use openCV for color identification and I get the color in hexadecimal form, like '#FF0000'.
Now I want to convert that to a string.

I have searched a lot, but I didn't find any useful code.
Please help and tell me, if anyone knows the answer.

There is no exact color name of each hexadecimal color code. So what you need is an approximation .

Searching for "approximate color name", I found some usefull links :

• Name that color which provide a js lib.
• Function that converts hex color values to an approximate color name? a php SO question.
• How can I get the closest color word for a hex color? a Graphic Design question that digs deep into the issue.
