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!

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 )
