What do you look for in a video game? Maybe you like games with surreal, dystopian settings. Or maybe you prefer laid-back, colorful worlds.

When you think of words that begin with the letter Z, you may have difficulty coming up with more than a handful. However, the group of colors with this letter is surprisingly large, with well over one hundred colors. Many of the color names come from words like “zinc,” “zest,” “zebra,” or “zen,” but there are also

Since there are millions of colors we can see, it makes sense that we wouldn’t be familiar with all of their names. For most colors, we use the colors of the rainbow and the words “lighter” or “darker” to describe them. Yet, most colors have a name associated with them, even if it’s not universally

Compared to the previous letter of the alphabet, relatively many colors begin with the letter Y. Most of these come from the color yellow and all of its variants, which make up nearly a third of this group.

As a result, many of these colors are either in a language other than English or from paint colors. If you want a color that’s “urban,” “ultra,” or “universal,” this collection has something to help

The colors beginning with the letter T include plenty of popular names like “teal,” “turquoise,” and “Tuscan.” Despite the presence of some famous blue and green shades, an unusually high number of T colors tend to be some shade of brown or red, which colors the overall average shade of this collection. Whether you’re looking for a

S is another letter found in a lot of color names. However, few color families begin with the letter S, which means this group has more variety than other letters. From “sable” to “silver,” we’ve compiled a collection of “super,” “sweet,” and even “shocking” colors to help you get started on your next graphic design project. Here’s a
