| Anyone feeling creative?
There's a project trying to give names to all 16,777,216 colours in the RGB colour space.
Have a go, see if you can get some names accepted
https://colornames.org/
I've submitted names for some of the colours on the HPC:Factor Style Sheet.
https://colornames.org/color/1a7d00
https://colornames.org/color/0d110e
https://colornames.org/color/376b33
https://colornames.org/color/328892
As well as a few random ones
https://colornames.org/color/fb1bc4
https://colornames.org/color/4bae89
https://colornames.org/color/5c840f
https://colornames.org/color/f4e1ba
https://colornames.org/color/8e95ca
If you are feeling creative, submit your colour codes link and we'll see if they get accepted. |

| Are we doing this all by ourselves, or is anyone else in the world helping? |

| Technically doesn't that mean everything is grey for you? I dare you to invent 16 million names for grey |

| Then, of course, there's 'graydar,' the ability to spot an old person in public. |

| That's the American version, the Brits use Greydar for their old people. |

| GrAy for A-merica. GrEy for E-ngland. That is how I remember it.
It must be hard in life when literally everything is 50 Shades of Grey

| And how do you explain this behaviour/behavior? I really could use your advise/advice. Though in your defence/defense I recognize that the British versions of English came first. |

| Behaviour/Behavior is the same as Colour/Color. Lazy colonists; too lazy to pay their darn taxes and write words properly.
Advise & Advice are two different words. Advise: Rich advised Chris that he thought he would have to go away in June. Advice: Rich gave Chris some good advice.
Defence/defense, but never defencive/defensive. Always defensive.
Aluminium and Aluminum. That one is easy to spot though because unlike the above, we pronounce them completely different. Al-you-min-i-um vs. Al-oo-min-um.

| I tried one name, https://colornames.org/color/992222 as DignifiedRed . Let's see if that gets accepted. Maybe I needed a space in between? oh well.

| None of mine have been yet. I think they need moderators for their project. |
