    Just came across this hex RGB color: #cacaca. Doesn't sound like a pretty color, but it's actually pretty plain. Any other words you can come up with using hex colors? Here's my contribution: #b00b00 I imagine that looks like a shade of dark brown (not unlike a bear).

    "b0bfac" a person who has sent more than 11,583,404 seconds (3217 hours) using CodeProject. As a color this comes out as a kind of "institutional looking" slightly greenish-gray, of the type often used to paint hospital walls. Throw in a 2 byte alpha channel, and you could get a lot more creative as in "faceb00b" best, Bill

        I just take the liberty to use RGBA for this classic: #deadc0de Edit: This produces an ugly pink color X|

                Since when has 'R' been a hex digit?
