The original proposal was to call it beccapurple ( http://discourse.specifiction.org/t/name-663399-becca-purple... ). However, Eric Meyer asked for it to be rebeccapurple ( http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2014/06/19/rebeccapurple/ ).

So touching to read the thoughts of a parent as they go through the last days of life with their very loved daughter and family. This is what family is and the joy of life through the process of losing it.

Color-hex has some great info - it's what DDG uses to display color info when it detects a color search:

I view this as misuse; a dead fly in CSS soup.

It will not be a burden on anyone. Show a little compassion.

It is good to remember that there are humans building software, and I personally like the idea of software paying a tribute to the people behind it. Another example: http://www.wowwiki.com/Shrine_of_the_Fallen_Warrior

There's a CSS color named 'Gainsboro', and a color named 'NavajoWhite' that's not super close to white. 'RebeccaPurple', from a pragmatic sense, is easier to understand than those two in my opinion.
