It was on my "toy project list" after reading these two very interesting stories/threads:
The famous CAFEBABE story: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2808646/why-are-the-firs...
Why does HTML think “chucknorris” is a color?: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8318911/why-does-html-th...
So which of these actually spell the color they represent (or something closely related)? From a quick glance, I have no found any. Do color-words like that exist in other languages maybe?
Good question. I thought of an algorithm to find the hex word colors that most closely match the color they represent... Basically: get the color of the _word_ by doing an image search and extracting the dominant color from the first image result. Then compare that color to the hex color (in CIELAB color space) to get the color difference. Track the hex words with lowest difference. Here's a rough impl in Python: imp…
I'm gonna start using #ACCE55 to indicate successful login and #B00B00 on failure.

Beef dies in the wild too so DEADBEEF should not, I do not care if they want to use B16D1CC instead :) I can't see why CAFEBABE would be offensive though. ...And honestly I guess I don't care? If people are that mad about some levity then I probably do not want to work with them.

I understand a lot of those, but why is "beaver cleaver" on the list? I could see how it might be used in a dirty way, but that can't be the most common way it's used, right?
The "dirty" use seems pretty silly (sounds like something out of a crass 80's movie or something), but I can't really imagine using it in a non-dirty manner either. I mean I know people have hunted and trapped beavers, but when the capture them they don't just, like, thwack them with a giant cleaver, right? Would ruin the pelt if nothing else.

#1C1E57 (ICIEST) is dark blue, which could hold true in certain contexts! #DEBA65 (DEBAGS) is brown, much like de color of de bags made of de paper. And on a related and exceptionally juvenile note, it should be very possible - and frankly obligatory, for those in fashion tech companies reading this - to create and sell a #B00B1E colored bra.
Tangentially related, and equally juvenile, I own the telephone number in Australia: 08 80087355 Still gives me a chuckle. Grow up.

#A55E55 (asses) is brown. Oh... wait.

I just called, why didn't you pick up?
Should have connected for a few giggles this arvo.
