Very interesting. Strange to think how “IDIOT” is such a serious shade of blue.
I have to point out he forgot one: “OOOOOO!”

Anyone care to explain to me how any letters beyond A-F are found in a “hexadecimal” number? I don’t get it.
you are correct, they aren’t. the author took some liberties…
0 = o
1 = i or L
5 = s
7 = t

Ah, thanks; they weren’t completely clear.
Edit -> The author explained the “o” but I didn’t realize they’d gone full “1337”-speak =p . Thank {Deity of your choice} that crap has mostly died, barring FPS gamer and/or forum names…

Aw, they don’t include #BADA55.
I wonder what it would look like if, given knowledge of the probable distribution of consonants and vowels in 6-letter English words using that letter set, you plotted the colors of all valid words (or even “valid” words in terms of consonant-vowel pair combinations that exist in English but don’t form words) on a spectrum.
