And now for something totally useless...
Hexadecimal Colours

One day I speculated: what would happen if I made words and phrases with the numbers and letters used to define colours in the hexadecimal system? What would the resulting colours look like?

#AttentionDeficitDisorder This is what happens when you don’t focus long enough to put all six hexcmdl chrctrs.
# 010101 Here’s a colour for programmers: off and on...
# 101010 ...or on and off.
#A AAAAA This colour makes me want to AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
#BEDEAD There are starving undertakers that could really use the business and keep you from turning this colour.
#C0FFEE Is Irish coffee supposed to be green(ish)?
#2BACDC Go both ways and get turned down for dates by twice as many people!
#DEC0DE Decode this colour: Pale purple? Lavender? Periwinkle? Mauve? Your kid holding her breath until you agree to buy “Goth Barbie”?
