new = boolean; indicates whether to restrict to new color names (true), old color names (false), or no restriction (the default)

default = string; default value to return when there is no match

The HexToString procedure converts from a hex color value to a translated color name (based upon the current locale in the Maplets context).

The new option acts as follows:

If a default value is provided, then that is returned when no match is found, otherwise an error occurs.

$\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{ColorTools}\right)\:$

$\mathrm{HexToString}\left(''\#00FF00''\right)$

$''Lime''$

$\mathrm{HexToString}\left(''\#0F0''\,\mathrm{new}=\mathrm{false}\right)$

$''green''$

$\mathrm{HexToString}\left(''FF0000''\right)$

$''Red''$

$\mathrm{HexToString}\left(''F00''\right)$

$''Red''$

$\mathrm{HexToString}\left(''I\; like\; cat\; videos''\right)$

Error, (in ColorTools:-HexToString) invalid hex color value: I like cat videos

The ColorTools[HexToString] command was introduced in Maple 16.
