Oh neat: #F0E71D is the colour of asafoetida: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=asafoetida&source=lnms&tbm... And #C0C0A5 is cocoa. For fitness studio folks who are into hex (of which there are obviously billions) #F17 (bright pink) would be popular too.

#B0BCA7 is also the color of a bobcat.

#CA7 is the color of one of my cats. (Well, she has a lot of colors, but I'm sure #CA7 is on her somewhere.)

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!

there is also #F1A5C0 / FIASCO

It's like onomatopoeia, but with colors instead of sounds.

Very cool! I found #c0ffee myself a while ago and it made me quite happy to immediately know which color the title meant.

I didn't think of the other possibilities(like #bada55), but instead opted to shorten it to 3 letter codes. The one I like most is #b00, a nice red.

This isn't related to the post content (which was great), but I noticed that HN lists the domain as "surge.sh", which doesn't make a lot of sense because surge.sh is just the web hosting service this site is on.

With the web, the convention right now is to treat the subdomain as a different security origin (with the exception of www). So the link should show c0ffee.surge.sh, not surge.sh.

If this is a manual setting, it probably also needs to be set for neocities.org. I noticed that wordpress.com domains were being subdomained properly.

It really shouldn't be manual, it should just always show the correct origin domain.

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.

7->T is definitely the most oblique of the four numbers. I'd say that 0 as O is completely unobjectionable, and 1 as I mostly so. It's a lot easier for me to read #c0ffee than #7a57e5.

I really liked bobcat, but did not enjoy #B1DE75
