Wow. I'd say your comment is even more entertaining than the article. You really DID fall down the named colors rabbit hole. Lol. In most real projects, I'll reach for hex or rgba, but I really like named colors on personal projects because they're fun/quirky and they offer a simple, built-in design token system (sort of). So I have less to think about. I did not realize that about the "lime" vs. "green" thing. I may need to add it to the article. Yeah, you really are just touching the tip of the iceberg regarding some names not aligning with their namesakes. There are so many color names that are out of touch with reality. What the heck is a papayawhip? peru? That's a country. I'm teams magenta, cyan, grey. But lately I've been liking fuchsia because I finally started spelling it right without looking. I've never even heard of octarine. Led me to some more interesting reads. Thanks so much for the comment. It was lovely!
Hey thanks Kevin. Yeah, I think for a while it was 'cool' to hate on WordPress. Some folks don't give it enough time before making a decision. And some only focus on the tech not being the most perfect stack, while failing to see the real value. I don't know, but there is a lot of good that I personally get out of using it. Including making small, fast tweaks like you said. Thanks also for catching those bad links. I must have been in a rush copy/pasting. Fixed now :)
