My initial and surname when written as an hexcode make a nice orange colour: Texas rose, according to some website.
Are there more people that can write their name as a hexcode?

Re: Hexwords: Hex colors that are similar to words
#122I've always wanted to make something like this! This is awesome. Filters to weed out leetspeak words, use only letters/numbers, etc would be great. 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/…
Disappointed to see that C#'s counterpart to Java's 0xCAFEBABE is missing: 0xBADDECAF /s

#123Found a slur in the dataset, not sure if these are programmatically generated (I assume so) but may want to consider filtering those out.
For the curious, I think they mean decimal values 16408693 and 16410119. Which have other archaic meanings but their primary modern meanings are a slur. 16410349 is apparently British slang for exhausted, so maybe gets a pass?

It's worth pointing out that they are slurs in the U.S., not globally. One is a type of meatball where I'm from.

#125So 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?
