That's really stretching it.

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…
Yes but you grew up typing hex codes into a home computer connected to a tape drive. You know what 8192 looks like in binary but everything beyond 65535 you struggle with because you didn't have the registers for that on your 6502A.
It probably irritates you to see images scaled to 1000 pixels rather than 1024. What about that jpeg cell that is not 8 pixels square? Think of the computational overhead and the need to go floating point just because someone does not think in bytes. It is too late to tell them now, these kids ain't spending winter typing in hex. Hex to them is like BCD is to you and who needs binary coded decimal these days when emoji's need to be mastered?
I don't mean you personally, just them folk that know their hex from learning to code that way. I think hex is important but it seems most front end developers would prefer not to know.

#73Seems appropriate that #D15C05 (DISCOS) is an ugly, 70s orange-brown.

#75There's "tic", "toe", but not "tac". I guess we need a "even less strict" option.
That likely has less to do with strictness of number/letter substitutions and more to do with "tac" not appearing in the dictionary (unlike "tic" and "toe").
Apologies; I was unclear about what I wanted to be "less strict" (i.e. the dictionary, in this case).
Re: #c0ffee is the color
#76HN feature request: three character hex code support for topcolor. Bonus points: named color support for valid CSS colors, such as dodgerblue.
It's supported and it appears in your HN profile once you have a certain karma. The field is called "topcolor".

This is my experience. There are two types of people in this industry, people who want to make money quick and those who are technologists.

Coffee beans before roasting are infact "Green"[0] and are referred as green coffee. The roasting process makes it brown.darker. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_roasting#Roasts
That's a very good point! I can't say I've ever roasted my own coffee, so it's something I've not experienced in person. I hear you can buy green beans and roast them with a popcorn machine though, which sounds kinda fun to try.
It is very fun, and way tastier:

There's one colour standing out, where the hex doesn't match the word: Rebeccapurple (#663399) was named in memory of Eric Meyer's daughter.
