When you look at all the colors that begin with the letter J, a few words are probably going to stand out. Jasper, Jungle, Jade, and Japanese are all names that crop up multiple times, and nature-themed names overall are pretty popular in the J color family. See if you can find the perfect color for your next graphic design or traditional artwork.
Here’s a list of colors that start with J, including names, Hex, RGB, and CMYK codes:
Jacaranda
The name “jacaranda” can be applied to nearly fifty different flowers, as it’s technically the name of a plant family instead of a single plant. Nevertheless, when most of us think of jacaranda flowers, we think of pale purple blossoms, which is why this deep, dark purple shade may come as a bit of a surprise!
Jacaranda

CMYK 0, 93, 11, 82
Jacaranda (CS)
This second Jacaranda variant is just a little bit lighter than the first shade, with a slight green undertone running under the surface and brightening the overall shade. This color draws some of its inspiration from the twining vines that help support the jacaranda blooms.

Jacarta
Jacarta is an outdated spelling for Jakarta, the largest city in Indonesia with a population of more than ten million and a booming downtown district.

Jack in the Box
If you’ve ever played with a jack-in-the-box toy, you know that the little toy jester in the box can come in just about any color. The color Jack in the Box, however, refers specifically to this cool, steady shade of dark blue with some muted gray undertones.

Jack-O-Lantern Orange
Jack-O-Lantern Orange is clearly inspired by the bright yellow-orange pumpkins that you typically see decorating homes and buildings during the fall. This shade is a little bit darker than “true” orange, but still remains a cheery, upbeat orange shade with plenty of autumnal warmth.

Jacko Bean
The origin of the name “Jacko Bean” may be unclear, but the color itself is bold and unmistakable—a deep shade of dark brown with strong black and gray undertones that up the intensity of this shade and push it just a little bit darker without completely losing the warmth and color of the brown tones.

Jackpot
Jackpot is another relatively dark shade, but it’s significantly lighter than most of the entries we’ve seen so far on this list. A deep green shade with cooler blue undertones, Jackpot is a sturdy, dependable shade of green with just enough brightness to remain interesting.

CMYK 76, 0, 16, 67
Jacksons Purple
Jacksons Purple—no apostrophe needed—is actually a lot closer to a dark royal blue shade than it is to a true purple. However, there are some very slight red or magenta undertones running beneath the surface to keep it from presenting as a traditional blue shade instead of a very blue-violet purple.

Jade
Jade is a semiprecious mineral that can be found in many different colors, although by far the most popular is its pale green variety. As a color, Jade mimics that light, soft, yellow-green shade while still capturing some of the transparency and luminescence that the mineral often displays.

CMYK 100, 0, 36, 34
Jade Glass
Sometimes referred to as Dark Turquoise, Jade Glass starts with a traditional Jade base before dialing up the blue values to create a warm, green-blue shade with strong yellow undertones. The end result is a lighter, brighter, and more “glassy” feel than the original Jade starting point could have provided.

Jade Green
Jade Green, on the other hand, starts with the same Jade base and mutes out some of the blue tones for a color that’s a lot more obviously green. Jade Green is a medium dark green shade with only the slightest hint of blue to round out the overall color.

Jade Mussel Green
As compared to Jade and Jade Glass, Jade Mussel Green looks much closer in shade to Jade Green or a regular dark green. While it still retains a bit of the light, glossy yellow undertones that set Jade apart, the overall appearance is a deep, bold, dark green shade.

Jade Rosin
Rosin is usually a shade of brown somewhere between yellow and black—a resin product that’s been heated in order to basically “boil off” the essential oils.

Jade Stone Green
Jade Stone Green, on the other hand, is much closer in appearance to the traditional Jade color.

Jagger
The name “jagger” was originally used to refer to anyone who worked with pack horses. Today, it’s most obviously associated with the last name of a certain Rolling Stones singer, and it’s that association that gives the dark purple Jagger color some of its glamour and excitement.

Jaguar
The only panther species native to the Americas, the jaguar’s coat ranges in color from a pale yellow color to a deeper tan-orange shade. While the base color may be overlooked in favor of the iconic spots that set the jaguar apart, this base coat serves as the inspiration for the deep yellow-orange color of this particular shade.

Hex #F6861D
RGB 246, 134, 29

Jaguar (CS)
Nearly 25% of jaguars are melanistic, which means that nearly 25% of jaguars may be born with a completely black coat. Often referred to as “black panthers”, these jaguars serve as the inspiration behind this Jaguar color variation, especially when viewed in comparison to the previous entry.
Jaguar (CS)

Jaguars Teal
Finally, Jaguars Teal is the “accent color” used by the Jacksonville Jaguars to lend a bit of color to their uniforms.

Jandal
In New Zealand, “jandal” is an old colloquial term for what you may know as “flip-flops”, “thongs”, “pluggers”, or “slippers”.

Japanese Withered Maple
Japanese Withered Maple starts with the same base color as Japanese Maple, but the final shade is noticeably more brown than the original variant.

Jarrah Tree
Jarrah Tree shares the same inspiration as the previous entry on this list, but the shade itself is just a little bit lighter.

Jasper Black
Jasper Black may look like a plain, no nonsense shade of black at first glance, but it actually has some relatively strong blue and red undertones running beneath the surface. As a result, this shade has a slightly purple tint to its overall appearance, although it’s still plenty dark enough to register as a “true” black shade.
Jasper Black
Hex #1A1B20

CMYK 19, 16, 0, 87
Jasper Blue
Blue is actually one of the rarest colors for jasper to take in nature. However, deposits of a greenish blue jasper have been found in a specific site in Russia, and this rare mineral serves as an inspiration for Jasper Blue, with its deep blue color and subtle green undertones.

RGB 130, 78, 39
CMYK 0, 40, 70, 49
Jasper Green
Jasper minerals get their colors from the inclusion of various metals or other minerals within the aggregate.

Jasper Green
Hex #467C4B
RGB 70, 124, 75
CMYK 44, 0, 40, 51
Jasper Purple
As mentioned above, blue is an extremely rare shade for jasper minerals, but purple is (very) slightly more common. The influence of a “true” jasper can be clearly seen in the strong red undertones that keep this shade from scanning as more of a blue-violet color.
Jasper Purple
Hex #595273
RGB 89, 82, 115
CMYK 23, 29, 0, 55
Jasper Red
Jasper Red starts with a traditional Jasper base before dialing up the intensity.

Jasper Salmon
Jasper Salmon, on the other hand, starts with the same Jasper base and veers dramatically in the opposite direction.

Jasper Tan
Finally, Jasper Tan pulls a lot more from the Tan side of its name than it does from the Jasper side. Nevertheless, it still retains enough of the characteristic warm red-brown undertones to keep the overall shade from looking too pale or too washed out, and the end result is a pale brown shade with just the hint of red.
