Got to admit I was hoping it'd be a coffee-ish colour before I sorta parsed the colour in my head and realised it was mostly green. With that said there are some pretty cool ones (e.g. 5afe57 = safest = a green) that do match up. Can't say I can think of many hugely practical uses for this, but it's kinda neat!

Hmm. I've always wanted to parse colours in my head. How do you do that?

These CSS colors consist of 3 bytes in hex, the first gives the red value, second green and the last is blue.

So:

  #FF0000 = 0xFF, 0x00, 0x00, which is pure red
  #0000FF = 0x00, 0x00, 0xFF, which is pure blue
  #FF00FF = 0xFF, 0x00, 0xFF, which is red and blue mixed, so it's purple (violet)
  #FFFFFF = 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, all colors combined is white
etc

#C0FFEE = 0xC0, 0xFF, 0xEE, so by 'parsing' it in your head yo can see is mostly green and blue, combined that's cyan.

This is great, but I'm not a fan of the "7 looks like a T"... my brain can't make that work. I request an "Ice T" mode that does this:

    Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(".wrap > div"))
      .filter(n => n.getAttribute("name").includes("t"))
      .forEach(n => n.parentNode.removeChild(n));

You could just press "strict" like the instructions says.
