I have to point out he forgot one: “OOOOOO!”
Anyone else disappointed that COFFEE isn’t coffee?
As discussed at HN, the colour ‘chucknorris’ comes out as red in HTML5. Try it.
#POOP
Why is this rendering as a slightly different color for each person?
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…
Well, if you’re going to allow that, then

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.
Because some of you (AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) still eat meat!
Is he the same artist who did that Evita Parody, mango tour?
I like this one better.
They also missed DEFEC8 even though they included DEFEC7.
