Q:

What is the color group name in the UI image?

I am actually developer not a graphic designer.
I want to know these color groups name. They look like ocean colors but there has to be an official graphic design name. What is the color group name for that?

And I don't know "color group name" is the true definition anyway.
Thank you.

A:

In general not all ranges have names even the ones that do are very diffuse. But as of a rule of thumbs there are characterizations for colors. So colors have a temperature and you can differentiate between warm or cool colors. In this case you can find a bunch of cool gradients* by doing a image search on google. But as you can see there are quite many cool color ranges. We can also call colors saturated or unsaturated, muddy or clear and so on.
One problem is that we as humans can not really distinguish color names, so while its possible to give hundreds or even thousands of names to colors. People wont actually agree with each others on these points. So for example while you and i would agree there is such colors as pastels, we do not agree where pastels begin and where they cease to be pastel colored.
* In this case it does not really help that we call cold things cool as well as awesome, or swell. So a warm gradient might be awesome and somebody would call that cool. That is people for you.
