I'm still working diligently on counting the grains of sand on the beach closest to me, and hopefully we can pool all of our work together for a final count. As soon as that's done I'll start trying to name all the stars. Colors? I'm tired already.
A few of my favorites so far: Screaming Grey: #AAAAAA It's Still Basically Black: #000001 Nice: #696969 (lol) These would make for some great candidates: https://colors.lol/ ;)
I have a handful I'd nominate as "lazy programmer" colors that I think are useful as placeholders but aren't as horrid as #FF00FF etc: blue #aabbdd green #aaddbb purple #bbaadd pink #ddaabb orange #ddbbaa (I usually end up using #bbddaa as well but it's just a different shade of green)
Very first thing I see is a rule that the names must be non offensive and the second thing I see is the color orange named after Trump. Apparently not a very serious attempt.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Any two adjacent colors must either have the same name or different names.
This assumes a color must have only one name. Why not two, or more?
I'm curious—is there a point to giving two separate names to two colors which are indistinguishable from one another to the human eye? There are zero people in the world who can tell #FF4500 from #FF4501, so aren't they effectively the same color?
The entire website is obviously a silly joke. Even if the colours were distinguishable you wouldn't go about naming them in this fashion but in some more systematic fashion
const namedColors = require('namedColors');
const chalk = require('chalk');
console.log(chalk.hex(nameColors['Hacker News Orange'])(
lol, you just downloaded a 200meg dep for named colors
));Peppermunt
Not quite baby shite

Something tells me however that the colour picker that implements this list, while fun, would not be very performant.
