The CSS color names is one of those things I haven't really explored until very recently. My default mode is to just grab the hex/hsl values. But white working on something last month I finally caved and used the names. Lime came up most frequently. Which got me thinking: if it's #0f0 why is it called lime, not just green? And why, in that case, is green #080? This undermines the whole RGB naming convention. It should be RLB, then Also, whoever decided to call rgb(221, 160, 221) - or, should I say, rlb(221, 160, 221) "plum" has probably never seen the real thing. Same with indigo. Which looks like the color of an actual plum. Don't even get me started on the magenta/fuchsia thing. I'm team magenta, all the way. And team cyan. And team gray. Also, why is octarine not a thing? This was a fun read!. Had some good laughs, and learned something, too!
