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?

#ACCE55 is green and #F1A5C0 is pinkish red, great colors for a login prompt

And then #1060FF for logoff.

There is a large population of brown asses in the world.

The issues isn't the color of the asses, but rather that the word spelled is assess. As in, the tax assessor is coming to assess our property now that we put on that addition. I expect our assessment to go up.

just make sure you're wearing brown pants when you read the bill

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.

I get spam calls but I never get spam voice mails. As such I never pick up unexpected calls but I do listen to messages.

Might be a regional thing?

Given that I never get ham voice calls, it is reasonable for me to assume that any voice mails that I receive are therefore spam (but, no, you're right, I don't recall ever noticing a spam voice mail. But then I wouldn't notice one, whether it existed or not, because I don't check them)
