Being a typical guy, Chirag Mehta had no clue what the colors Lavender and Mauve look like. You can show him Indigo and he won’t know if it’s more like Violet or Purple.
So Chirag made this little application where you can create a color on the screen (or copy-paste CSS hex# color) and find out the name of the closest matching color.
You can also select from the drop down list of 1500+ colors and then play around.
The color names in this list were found via Wikipedia, Crayola, and Color-Name Dictionaries like Resene. Chirag removed duplicates and manually edited the list for consistency.
This tool is simply for fun and personal use. Don’t send off that marketing brochure to printers based on this.
It’s the best and simplest tool for when I’m creating web sites, or doing any kind of html work. Thank you Chirag.

You have the power to choose how to react AND how to act (if you even choose to act for that matter). If you choose to react negatively to everything around you, then that is exactly what you will bring about in your life. If you choose NOT to act by giving your power away in the form of blame and excuses, your ability to be proactive becomes weaker and weaker as time goes on until you find yourself not being able to do anything at all.
You have the power and the responsibility to react AND to act and the truth is you always had that power within you. You just didn’t know it until you realized the fact that it was this very same power that is responsible for the life you are living today. When that hits us, we tend to focus on the fact that all the bad things in our life were not the fault of others, but the fault of ourselves so we become overly depressed. Never despair because with that being said, it’s leads to this realization.
If you want your life to change, it’s up to YOU to change it and you CAN change it.
Use that same power which has gone out of control that has given you the life today, seize it, and use it to create the life you want. Nobody can change your life except you. Stop pointing the fingers. Start pointing them to yourself. You have the power to act and create circumstances and while you can’t control circumstances and events that are out of your grip, you can control and choose how to respond to them. When we take responsibility for our lives and realize the power that resides in choosing how to react to circumstances and choosing to act in order to create new circumstances, we realize that within us is everything we need to change our lives.

Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first…Mark Twain

If you’re an entrepreneur, you are paid for outcomes and results, not hours spent.
Create your weeks, months and days. Know what you will accomplish at the end of each, and set targets. Determine the actions that you must take to accomplish those targets. Then focus only on achieving those outcomes and those results. For every action, be clear about why you’re taking that action and how that activity will move you toward fulfilling your desired end result.
Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer injury to our self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their self-importance, learn so easily; and why older people, especially if vain or arrogant, cannot learn at all…Thomas Szasz
Could you catch yourself doing something right, today?
Would you like to be totally inspired and energised by money? Discover how you can experience the incredible freedom of knowing how to tap into the creative flow of life to manifest money without fear or struggle.
One of the biggest problems when it comes to establishing a healthy relationship with money is that most people who suffer from financial difficulties have been confused by conventional advice. Sure, there is good advice out there, but it is often difficult to put into action because the patterns which have created your situation are never properly identified and dealt with.
For the most part, books or seminars on money only tackle the symptoms, leaving the root causes untouched.
Secrets Of The Money Shamans works because it goes directly to the root causes. Becoming a Money Shaman is about tackling the hidden and most limiting belief structures first.
The other problem with most teachings or techniques is that they don’t explain how to deal with the powerful resistance to change we all have – even if we are uncomfortable with our present circumstances. They don’t give you the tools you need to complete the job. This is why you will often experience only a temporary shift before falling back into old ways of thinking and acting around money.
In other words, it’s about finding out exactly what’s going on inside you and then having the ability to respond instead of react. Very often people can be doing ‘all the right things’ on the outside – yet subconsciously pushing away business from the inside. So if you’re serious about attracting more money into your life, you have to address the real reason that you’re experiencing difficulty.

The first true experimenter in chaos was a meteorologist, named Edward Lorenz. In 1960, he was working on the problem of weather prediction. He had a computer set up, with a set of twelve equations to model the weather. It didn’t predict the weather itself. however this computer program did theoretically predict what the weather might be.
One day in 1961, he wanted to see a particular sequence again. To save time, he started in the middle of the sequence, instead of the beginning. He entered the number off his printout and left to let it run. When he came back an hour later, the sequence had evolved differently. Instead of the same pattern as before, it diverged from the pattern, ending up wildly different from the original. Eventually he figured out what happened. The computer stored the numbers to six decimal places in its memory. To save paper, he only had it print out three decimal places. In the original sequence, the number was .506127, and he had only typed the first three digits, .506.
By all conventional ideas of the time, it should have worked. He should have gotten a sequence very close to the original sequence. A scientist considers himself lucky if he can get measurements with accuracy to three decimal places. Surely the fourth and fifth, impossible to measure using reasonable methods, can’t have a huge effect on the outcome of the experiment. Lorenz proved this idea wrong. This effect came to be known as the butterfly effect. The amount of difference in the starting points of the two curves is so small that it is comparable to a butterfly flapping its wings.
The flapping of a single butterfly’s wing today produces a tiny change in the state of the atmosphere. Over a period of time, what the atmosphere actually does diverges from what it would have done. So, in a month’s time, a tornado that would have devastated the Indonesian coast doesn’t happen. Or maybe one that wasn’t going to happen, does.
(Ian Stewart, Does God Play Dice? The Mathematics of Chaos, pg. 141)
This phenomenon, common to chaos theory, is also known as sensitive dependence on initial conditions. Just a small change in the initial conditions can drastically change the long-term behavior of a system.

If you read it a few times over, and really “get it”, then it is easy to see how our most teensy action, or inaction, can take our life off on a tangent.
You have likely heard many times, the well known adage of needing to – do different, to have different. Remember, “Just a small change in the initial conditions can drastically change the long-term behavior of a system”. This year, take on board Mahatma Gandhi’s message …”Carefully watch your thoughts, for they become your words. Manage and watch your words, for they will become your actions. Consider and judge your actions, for they have become your habits. Acknowledge and watch your habits, for they shall become your values. Understand and embrace your values, for they become your destiny.”
Time sure flies these days! In just 13 months and a number of a few days, I’ll be 50 years old. That is a very strange idea.

For most vertebrates, the brain require 2-8% of our body’s oxygen to function. Humans, however, with our overgrown brains, require a cosumption of around 20% of our body’s oxygen to function normally. Whether you are running a marathon or just trying to concentrate better at work; proper oxygenation, and therefore breathing, is of the utmost importance and worthy of your attention. If you have any interest to improve your health and well-being, start with your breath.
Additionally, it is the belief of those that follow a Yoga practice, an ancient Indian tradition, that vital energy or prana, is absorbed through the olfactory organ. The prana, which cannot be seen or measured by any instruments, is necessary for the health of the physical and non-physical or subtle bodies. It is thought to travel along the olfactory nerve in the nose directly to the brain. If you believe in the power of subtle energy forces such as prana, you are forgoing this free benefit by breathing through your mouth. It is for this reason that hatha yoga and meditation practices stress the use of nose breathing exclusively. Read more….
