As you might expect, given how few words in general begin with this letter, there are relatively few colors with the letter X. Nevertheless, thanks to words like “Xanadu,” “Xanthous,” and “Xerxes,” there are still more than 80 different colors in this group. Many of these are paint colors, so there are a lot of neutrals and other subdued tones, but you can still find plenty of colorful shades for your next graphic design project.
Here’s a list of colors that start with X, including names, Hex, RGB, and CMYK codes:
X Factor
Depending on how much reality television you watch, you might be more familiar with “The X Factor” as the title of a music competition show. However, the color X Factor takes its inspiration from the mysterious “x factor” of horse racing—an inherited mutation among thoroughbred racehorses that results in a physically enlarged horse. As a color, X Factor draws from the passion, speed, and excitement of thoroughbred racing in order to create this deep shade of bold, rich red.
