webcolors is installed but CSS3_HEX_TO_NAMES is missing: check API changes
An AttributeError in a color node may concern an old mapping, not a missing module. Identify the exception before choosing a package repair.

CSS3_HEX_TO_NAMES
Source-supported context
The webcolors changelog records removal of publicly exposed raw mappings in 24.6.0 and introduction of names() in 24.8.0. These are version-specific API changes, not a guarantee that an old node can use the newer interface unchanged. V04-WEBCOLORS
Distinguish these cases
1. The complete module is missing from the intended interpreter.
2. Import succeeds while a node accesses a no-longer-public mapping or unsupported internal path.
3. A supported conversion function rejects the color representation or specification supplied by the node.
Suggested diagnostic sequence
This sequence is editorial guidance, not a diagnosis of your machine.
1. Record the missing attribute and both node and library versions. Distinguish ModuleNotFoundError, AttributeError and an invalid-value conversion.
2. Prefer an author-maintained node update that uses documented public APIs. Test it in a copy before changing the working installation; do not edit installed dependency internals blindly.
3. If a legacy node must remain, create an isolated environment using its documented compatible combination. Do not apply an arbitrary downgrade to every node because an old forum post used it.
4. Test a known color and an unsupported input through the actual node, then check the dependency environment for new conflicts.
Completion checks
The failing attribute access is resolved, known colors convert correctly and invalid inputs produce understandable errors. Import alone is not an API compatibility check.
Limits and cautions
A new function is not necessarily a drop-in replacement for every dictionary use. Reverse mappings, aliases and color specifications still need consumer-specific handling; no untested source patch is supplied here.
