I have a handful I'd nominate as "lazy programmer" colors that I think are useful as placeholders but aren't as horrid as #FF00FF etc: blue #aabbdd green

I have a handful I'd nominate as "lazy programmer" colors that I think are useful as placeholders but aren't as horrid as #FF00FF etc:
blue #aabbdd
green #aaddbb
purple #bbaadd
pink #ddaabb
orange #ddbbaa
(I usually end up using #bbddaa as well but it's just a different shade of green)
- quickthrower2 7y agoMaybe call them Coder”s Blue etc..
- Stratoscope 7y agoAre they doing names for families of colors? Yours should be called Yabba Dabba Doo. Or perhaps Fred Flintstone.

- tbassetto 7y agoAfter seeing your comment, I thought blue should be #DaBaDe(e) but I wasn't first to come up with this idea: https://colornames.org/color/dabade https://colornames.org/color/dabade
- lioeters 7y agoNice. There's also: I'm Blue https://colornames.org/color/174ac0 https://colornames.org/color/174ac0 I'M BLuE https://colornames.org/color/1971d5 https://colornames.org/color/1971d5
- FireBeyond 7y agoThat ought to end well. "It enhances understanding! We benefit from a nomenclature..." ... that is apparently entirely reliant on case-sensitivity. Because "I'm Blue" is a very different color to "I'M BLuE" (and I guarantee there's probably dozens of other variations there, at least). Seriously?
