This doesn't work with CSS, right? Only the color attribute of HTML.

From the article:

> CSS has its own set of fascinating peculiarities when it comes to handling invalid colour values. Most modern browsers will clamp values rather than reject them outright -– throw rgb(300, -50, 1000) at a browser and it won't fail; it'll helpfully transform it into rgb(255, 0, 255).

It’s amusing that some of the other (English) word colors match what one would consider suitable or kinda close to those words. crap #c0a000 watermelon #a00e00 plant #00a000 sonic #0000c0 jade #0ade00 bloodily #b00d00 grass #00a000 midnight #0d00000 Has anyone created a more comprehensive list of such (unexpected) color words for English and other languages?

I'm surprised this is well defined behavior.

I already saw the Stack Overflow reference cited in the article (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8318911) many years ago, so I wasn't surprised.

But I guess I can still be disappointed. Postel's Law has its limits.
