In the future, you can also re-enable any of the windows (color wheel, layers, history, or tools) by using the buttons in the very upper right-hand corner of the PDN window. (Assuming PDN 4.0.5 or similar and Windows 7 - I can't speak for other versions or OS'es)

I actually found Color Name & Hue, which claims to name 1,640 colors, and has a very convenient UI. I did go ahead and make myself a "chart" of all the colors on the Default Pallet, and attached it in case anyone else might find it useful. (Please let me know if there are any inaccuracies, I just used the names that website returned) Out of curiosity, how does one go about creating a plugin? I know C++, Java, R, and (some) HTML, so I may be able to implement this myself? Feel free to let me know if that isn't feasible. I'll poke around the forum and see what I can find! Colors.pdf

That's more or less how I've been working around the issue. Google "RGB *color*" and then plug in the values. If there isn't a viable software-based solution for this I'm just going to use an online resource or ask a friend to identify the default standard colors and make myself a little reference chart. Thanks for the response!

Hello, I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a setting or plug-in which would display the name of the standard colors when the pointer is hovered over them. Being color-blind makes it challenging to identify certain colors from another in the best of conditions, let alone on a very small color pallet window. This applies to any relevant program, and is certainly not exclusive to PDN. Microsoft Office overcomes the issue in a rather elegant manor (in my opinion), and it is what I mentioned previously. Like this: (Note the "Purple" label in the lower right corner) If something like this already exists, please let me know. I was unable to find anything via Google, nor the forum search function. Thanks!
