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

[–] Gamers_Mate@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] siipale@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years 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.

[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Reminds me of Netscape.

[–] bran_buckler@kbin.social 6 points 2 years 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.

[–] Gamers_Mate@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

That is a nice green.

#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

[–] owatnext@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I like #CC8899 the most.

For reference:

Puce

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Looks like Pantone’s color of the year 2024!

[–] inlandempire@jlai.lu 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For reference:

Ffd000

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

[–] inlandempire@jlai.lu 4 points 2 years 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 💛

[–] Gamers_Mate@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] z500@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sounds like that's just #C00C00

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That's lovely

[–] ad_on_is@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] siipale@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years 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.

[–] ad_on_is@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] ultra@feddit.ro 1 points 2 years ago

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

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

#1C1C1C

It's a very calming nice gray

[–] bigbluealien@kbin.social 1 points 2 years 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

[–] Z4rK@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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

[–] DeathWearsANecktie@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

#1200FF

Quite a sharp colour but very good

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

#FF6600

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

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

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] doubletwist@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Time to remind everyone that Colour Lovers exists.

#33b5e5

Only real ones will get it.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

FF06B5
