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?
#C0C0A5

I don't understand how any part of that applies to my comment at all, sorry. (I take it from the way you quoted it at me that you think it does.) "Flamebait" applies to the comment I was replying to, though, I think.

#164Really disappointed #dadb0d didn't make the cut.

#165This is simultaneously interesting and useless.

Fesses is from French, for instance.
But common in informal English as a shortening of confesses .
In my head, it's a conjugation of "fess", which is a shortening of "confess". (Until I thought of it that way I was thinking "I've never seen this before", despite the word being in my vocabulary.)

Francophones might not have the same understanding of the distinction as you do.

It's 2022: RIP the concept of voicemail
You think the concept of people leaving audio messages to one another is dead? That seems like something that will never die out.
The concept of people leaving audio messages _with a reasonable expectation that someone will listen to them_ is (thankfully) dying out, at least among my social circles.
You can leave a message if you want, I'm not going to listen to it. The only entities that make unexpected phone calls are scammers and bots.

#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.

#170Found 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?
