I saw on Twitter that the official Love Live color codes have been revealed! Yay!!
Generally, my first reflex when I hear about color codes is to check the color name that comes with it. Some are beautiful, some are fitting, other really random and unexpected... it's always fun to check ~

*EXTRA NOTES:
You may have noticed Ruby and Natsumi got the same color code name! The reason seems to be because not every color code have a specific name; the site looks for the closest result (I'm guessing in terms of color values?) and suggest the closest known color, which in their case is #FF6EC7, "Neon Pink". In fact, none of the girls' colors are the exact HEX code fitting their names; but it's the closest result hehe.
Also, a little fun fact for those who enjoy be watching VTubers:
A few Love Live characters share the same color code name with a few well known VTubers.
Ai shares her color name with Kiara Takanashi (Hololive), Tsuzuri with both Mori Calliope (Hololive) AND Reimu Endou (Nijisanji), Sayaka with Gawr Gura (Hololive) and Rurino with Kotoka Torahime (Nijisanji)! Their colors are almost identical. Unlike Nijisanji, Hololive didn't release official color codes but fan found what could be their semi-official colors according to their profiles (more info here)
This might also apply to Japanese VTubers but I haven't checked yet... I might update if so!
This is the website that I used for the names. If other characters you like got official color codes, feel free to check what the names are for a fun little surprise!
Feel free to let me know what you think about the color names!
I find it funny that Honokas is called Tangerine haha, so close... it would have been perfect if it was Chika, then they're a bit less fitting color-wise.
I was also surprised with some of the official colors though!
