Meet Oddest Green, Booboo Red And Other 'Real Word' Hexadecimal Colors
Did you know that "dabbed" is a lavender hue? Or that "deface" is eggshell white? This isn't synesthesia talk — these are the corresponding colors you get when you plug these words in as hexadecimal colors, as the site "#c0ffee is the color" will teach you.
(Refresher: hexadecimal colors have red, green and blue components where the intensity of each is represented by a pair of hexadecimals using 0-9 then A-F for base-16 counting. For example, #0000FF is pure blue.)
"#c0ffee is the color" displays all the hexadecimal colors for alphabet-only words like "beefed" and "decade" as well as for leetspeak variations, though you can toggle those on or off. Without including numbers you'd never get to see Doodad Pink (#D00DAD) or Testes Indigo (#7E57E5), so some leeway for leet seems acceptable here.
FRD, the creator of "#c0ffeeisthecolor," put their email address at the bottom of the page, but don't message them if you're unhappy that #C0FFEE is actually a pale greenish-blue instead of a rich brown. They didn't pick how hexadecimal colors work, they just translated them for our collective benefit.
