That’s not a Pantone colour that a Hex colour.

I expected it to be a single color. I think if it were eyedroppered, you’d find a lot of different colors in there.

Perhaps a good example of the emptiness of labels, and their inability to define the complexity of the individual.

Dad gum it! Thanks. I asked them to change it.

Shows up, is a color, reproduces, buggers off? That’s The Colour Out of Space, isn’t it?

Colonialism is #0000E7 or maybe #0000E9 , but #0000E8 is a stretch. And you have to add an Alpha channel in there because it is somewhat invisible, but not quite.
