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?

I'm gonna start using #ACCE55 to indicate successful login and #B00B00 on failure.

7->T and 6->G is pushing it too far, imho.
by mikece on 6/8/22, 9:11 PM
Where has this been all of my career? Very #BADA55 indeed!

Ya'll are missing my favorite one, although I guess its technically two words. "Dad CEO": #dadce0

This should be turned into some hybrid between Wordle and MDN.

Found a slur in the dataset, not sure if these are programmatically generated (I assume so) but may want to consider filtering those out.

#5A6E57, SAGEST, is interesting because it appears to be the most sage-like color on the board and is therefore autological.

in my last job we used to work #C0FFEE coloured elements into our UI as a little easter egg of sorts.

Nice! I made a hexwords mode on
https://www.lazycolor.com/
I haven't really touched the site in a decade... maybe I'll update it next decade.

This is dumb, and I am in love with it. I'll have to use some of these... :)

I have a project named “xidoc”. I spent a long time trying to come up with a logo and a primary color, then I got the cute idea of using the letter ξ (xi) in the color #d0c (which happens to be a quite lovely magenta).

From 2014
http://bada55.io/ includes a much more expansive set considering hex colors do not require all six characters. #101

You can do the same with ipv6 addresses. Something like dead:beef::babe

Would be fun to plot all these on a color wheel to see how non-uniform it is, as a consequence of the distribution in English words (which can be represented this way).
by langsoul-com on 6/9/22, 5:32 AM
Reminds me about when people had to generate a string of random characters but take anything out that's close to a slur.
Forgot what the end result was, no vowels and numbers?

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?

Thanks for making an interesting article and only plugging your site at the end. I don't mind submarine ads if I can learn something from them.

Really disappointed #dadb0d didn't make the cut.

Whenever I give a demo, I always use #BADA55 because I have the maturity of a 12 year old. This will definitely expand my repertoire.
by loudthing on 6/9/22, 7:57 PM
This is simultaneously interesting and useless.
by paradite on 6/10/22, 10:40 AM
I use d3 for visualization, and my favourite default color for everything is #d3d3d3. Works well in a lot of situations.
by tunesmith on 6/8/22, 9:53 PM
I love that "booboo" is blood red.
by soheil on 6/8/22, 11:33 PM
I wonder if there is another base other than 16 that would generate the most beautiful colors with most words.
by tonicbbleking on 6/10/22, 8:58 AM
To me, #CA551A wins it. Looks a lot like cassia tree bark, aka cinnamon.
by apricot on 6/12/22, 1:19 PM
I like that AC1D1C is red but BA51C is green. Hex code litmus paper.
by jalk on 6/8/22, 9:46 PM
Love it. Now I need some nice looking/sounding palette phrases :-)
by ljoshua on 6/8/22, 9:27 PM
#B00B00 is one of my favorites as a dad with young kids (it’s red). :)
by phelm on 6/8/22, 10:29 PM
Didn't someone once set the PETA website to #BEEEEF
by bezoz on 6/8/22, 10:14 PM
This would make a pretty cool MIT Mystery Hunt puzzle!
by oniony on 6/9/22, 9:11 AM
I really don't like this colour: #DE7E57
by hajimuz on 6/9/22, 8:11 AM
Badass color is not bad ass at all… :)

What does "alpha" switch do?
by uwagar on 6/9/22, 7:39 AM
is it just for me? the copy icon seems on top of every word obstructing the view... :(
by gloryless on 6/9/22, 12:14 AM
This is amazing, love it!!
by danreedx86 on 6/9/22, 1:43 PM
ahem, you missed #d00d00
by nathias on 6/8/22, 9:45 PM
pretty cool, now we need something like a prettier plugin that forces hexes to the nearest hexword to make it useful
by iso1631 on 6/9/22, 8:53 AM
No #B00B1E?
by joshwcomeau on 6/8/22, 11:55 PM
I love this

This is the kind of quirky, brilliant link I crave from Hacker News. If I was near you creator, I would garland you and rub your feet.
