For example #bf00ff is a nice colour code. Also known as electric purple.

I'm going to assume that this is basically a question on what my favorite color is with extra steps :)

I'm also a big fan of purple! But if I had to choose, I'd go for #7851A9 instead:
royal purple
Royal purple

Anywhere on the spectrum from pink to purple is always a good choice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's a nice purple! I like all sorts of purples too but I couldn't pick the one I like the most. I like anything from lavender to kind of red wine color. Not sure if they're all even considered to be purple as they are little more red.

#006269

Edit: It's petrol blue for the curious.

Reminds me of Netscape.

FFD000 is a beautiful yellow,, almost orange, that really stands out when in a dark background

For reference:

Ffd000

That is nice, I'll need to see if I can use it in some UI themes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm one of the admins at https://thespot.design/, it's our main brand colour, if you want to see it implemented 💛

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It contrasts nicely with dark mode. I also got to learn about a new website which is cool.

Nice its like that blue that building frames have on them during construction.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I was always a fan of #BADA55 when I needed a placeholder color. Not only is it badass, it’s a nice mellow green.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That is a nice green.

Nice looks like a shade of teal.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's the default wallpaper color of Windows 95

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Nice does it come with minesweeper?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Love that color!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

#2f2

A nice eye searing lime green that I used to use a bit when I first got into web development. Originally copied from goodness knows where lol.

Now I use it in my current job alongside the color red when designing CSS grids

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I like #CC8899 the most.

Sounds like that's just #C00C00

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Appropriate, given the time he tried to debate an empty chair

That's lovely

Not my favorite, but I use this one for debugging #FF00FF.

It started back then in the early 2000s when I used to modify winamp skins, which used this particular color for transparency in their BMP sprites (no PNGs back than). Since then it stuck with me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I also used to use that color for transparency. When I made something in MS Paint I set that color to where I wanted transparency so I could move it to other window with transparent selection. Nice workflow for simple pixel art but I would rather use GIMP these days.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

yeah,, Gimp ain't much different from MS Paint regarding UX 😂 /s

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I know Minecraft uses that for the “broken” texture.

#FF6600

I just really like it. It’s a really nice shade of orange.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

#1C1C1C

It's a very calming nice gray

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've been using #1F1F1F as it's also the background colour in dark mode VS Code, though anything in that region is quite pleasing

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I expect all you geeks to play What the Hex? and excel in it: https://yizzle.com/whatthehex/

I can’t lock it down to a specific hex, but my favorite palette is Synthwave

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

#1200FF

Quite a sharp colour but very good

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

#ff06b5 because I'm a nerd, but a slightly different kind of nerd lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

#00ff00 (green) because I've been using it as my terminal text color for 30+ years.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I get a surprising amount of use out of 0x123456, which is midnight-sea-bluish color, as a background shade.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

FF06B5

Only my chooms will know why.
