Colors That Start With H

Here are 11 colors that start with H, each with a swatch and its hex code so you can use it in a design, a craft or a word game. Popular names come first, then every shade in A to Z order.

Only 11 colors begin with H, but they have plenty of personality. Hot pink, hot magenta, hot green and hot purple form a loud little group that all share the same punchy prefix. Hunter green takes the opposite mood with a dark, outdoorsy shade.

Plant names show up here as well. Heather is a dusty purple from the moorland shrub, heliotrope comes from a flower, and hazel is a nut brown often used for eyes. Honeydew is a pale green named after the melon, an easy one for young readers.
