I have pictures which have a list of main colours used in it. And each colour is also a hyperlink to a page, with listings for all pictures that contain that colour:

example.com/color/336600


So that page would contain images with colour #336600 .
The problem I have is describing that for humans.
Currently I am saying something like:

All pictures with #336600 colour.

And it also has the colour shown next to it as well, so it's a little bit easier to understand.
The problem is most people don't know what that colour is as it's a HEX value. Unless they look at the colour, which is kind of pointless having listed the HEX value.

What might be a good way to describe it to the user?

As well as having page titles (meta) and perhaps a meta description. Currently the page meta title shows as:

All pictures with colour #336600

This doesn't really mean anything to most people.

I've seen several places that produce color names based on a color code. Given that there are 16 million+ hex colors, it would be pretty hard to have unique names for each and every one. Whatever you do will have to accept approximate values by matching them to the nearest name.

On StackOverflow: Function that converts hex color values to an approximate color name?
