@nycki@bark.lgbt that's cool! I hadn't thought of using it for CSS before, but that is quite a sensible use case! It would be cool to see that survey down on an even larger scale (as in, with more participants)

@nycki@bark.lgbt forwarded that to a colourblind colleague who does a lot of graphics design, lovely tip?

@nycki@bark.lgbt fun fact: one of the Minecraft April fools updates used that file for one of its gimmicks. But they ended up having to patch it later because some of the colors have swears in them (things like "shit brown" or "piss yellow")

@nycki@bark.lgbt This is beautiful and helpful. And it uses the word "poop" five times. So you know it's legit.

@drj@typo.social 2026-01-27 20:59
@nycki@bark.lgbt i've seen this marvellous page a few times now, but only now noticed that one of the colours is "light urple". A typo that was popular enough to get its own colour name :) (it's in the rgb.txt too).

@nycki@bark.lgbt Thank you for the tip. I'm can see colors, but even so am rubbish on creating good ones for my needs. Had a quick scroll and a big nerdy smile happened with my face, realising how useful this list will be for future me 🥰

@jake@social.jacobhaddon.com 2026-01-27 22:50
@nycki@bark.lgbt he says "I've normalized the 'gray' spelling to 'grey' since that was more popular among my users..." and i'm just going to say that gray and grey are two different colors. (also this is fantastic, thanks for the post!)

@nycki@bark.lgbt huh... is there a good way to turn this into some kind of palette file for artists, I wonder?

@heatherhorns_lite@plush.city 2026-01-28 06:02
@nycki@bark.lgbt oh my god, thank you!\\do you use anything else? looking at your art, you seem to have a good grasp of colors i wasn't sure would ever wind up being possible to achieve with colorblindness

@nycki@bark.lgbt wow. 🤩

@pgoetz@mastodon.social 2026-01-28 06:59
@nycki@bark.lgbt That's very interesting. Might this help you buy shirts that have the color you assume, @mydalon@mastodon.social?

@nycki@bark.lgbt this is neat! I'm not colourblind but I do use an #epaper monitor that's greyscale for most of my work. This will be one less time that I have to switch to a bright screen! (I scrolled through the colour list on that epaper monitor, so I only saw various shades of grey, but I'm sure they're fine 🙃)

@gkrnours@mastodon.gamedev.place 2026-01-28 10:19
@nycki@bark.lgbt in matplotlib, everywhere you can specify a color, you can use "xkcd:sky blue" to get xkcd colors :)

@mgorny@mastodon.com.pl 2026-01-28 10:24
@nycki@bark.lgbt, I love how many different shit colors are there.

@nycki@bark.lgbt As a colorblind person myself : thank you very much for sharing, and much more to the creator 🙏

@myname@chaos.social 2026-01-28 13:19
@nycki@bark.lgbt I am very surprised by some of those like "lemon" that looks fairly dark brown to me.

@nycki@bark.lgbt Good for you and good for @RandallMonroe!

@fishter_uk@mastodon.scot 2026-01-28 19:40
@nycki@bark.lgbt The data is also incorporated into matplotlib for python so you can refer to those colours.

@nycki@bark.lgbt having this weird flashback to the early days of html/css ... didn't the original web color palette have names for each of the colors?

@http@infosec.exchange 2026-01-28 23:07
@nycki@bark.lgbt Do we need that many colors? Reminds me of this joke: https://visme.co/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/How-to-Choose-the-Right-Color-Scheme-for-Your-Infographic-Design-12.png
