Memorable hex colors
Hopefully this will save you a trip back to Photoshop's color picker.
- #b00b00
- #de1e7e
- #e1e100
- #BADA55
- #F0FEAF
- #ac1d1c
- #facade
These ones are memorable, but not terribly color-appropriate:
- #c0ffee
- #defec8
- #deface
- #0ff1ce
- #a55
Thx for the awesome suggestions: @mrspeaker, @8centsaday, @wilto, @lrbabe, @twalve
If you have any good ones to add, holler in the comments!
I guess I have a thing for hex colors.. ;)

Kinda ripped that off from a thing I saw in the past, but thats the hex version of it.
http://www.unauthorized.org/ a similarly themed brain fart site i made. adding in the numeric substitutions would be nice :) http://www.unauthorized.org/
I use:
#f1f1f1 (light grey)
#efefef (darker but still light grey)
#ccc (darker grey)
#777 (more darker grey)
all the time. grey seems to work with any color
let me see if I can express a thought :)
#Bad #fad, #dad! #Add #cad, #0dd #c0d.
#Deb #ebb #cab. #B0f, #B0b!
haha I like how #b00b00 is a deep red, an appropriate error alert colour.
#b00b1e
A designer recently told me her favorite hex color is #eff0ff, especially for particularly irksome clients.
#FACE8D
#B06135 (bogies if you squint)
I ran a script to trawl through the combos. A few more interesting ones were acce55, bedded, d00dad, deba5e, dec0de, fa5cia, 0b5e55, and (for the Brits) 50dded. The script and list are at http://mini.softwareas.com/more-memorable-hex-colors
Okay, I cannot figure out F0FEAF, and it's driving me bonkers.
WTF is it?
Fee Fi Fo Fum, probably.
I was reading a post by @ded today and I though it would be really cool if he used #DED in his color palette. Too bad it's a sort of pukey chartreuse.
(Looking up that color, I found another hex word site: http://www.nsftools.com/tips/HexWords.htm )
Now there’s even a full website dedicated to Lexadecimals.
#1CE1CE baby!
#0ff1ce
You could use this one as so many things!
Like making it work in a program to make something rotate at a certain speed by making it a temperature (Argh how do I explain that one?)
Off Ice as it is "off 1 key" = Off ice where ice = cold, attached to slow
That will make no sense to anyone no doubt but it it does to me :)
Think Colour temperature magnitudes but used with jquery to react to control mechanisms or along those lines (sort of like a colour coded flagging system to rate stuff like Google does b4 it envelopes stuff in it's pearls or delivers things as the best pearl)
Some stuff on colour magnitude and temperature here > http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1943ApJ….98..302S
I doubt I am making much sense but I reckon it is as simple as using hex numbers and electromagnetism along with code to make a pretty neat power generator/motor
Of course it makese sense if you see hex numbers as though seeing them makes reactions. hmm I am not explaining things well me thinks.
