What is your favourite Hex colour code?

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

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

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.

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

#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

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.

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.

yeah,, Gimp ain't much different from MS Paint regarding UX πŸ˜‚ /s

I know Minecraft uses that for the β€œbroken” texture.

#FF6600

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

#1C1C1C

It's a very calming nice gray

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

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

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

What's wrong with this community? Favorite hex codes...?

it's just a more specific way of asking favorite colors
