So awhile ago I was thnkign to myself, self if hex numbers are letters and numbers then there has to be some words that are real hex numbers that can represent colors. So there are some words that are made from the letters of the hex numbers. Apparently I wasnt unique in this question so I stood on the shoulders of other bloggers and took the
word list from this post he used numbers and leet type speak but i wanted only true words so I culled out his list a little and here are
The seven hex words colors

Do you think the colors remnd you of the words? I think it would br really cool if somebody did a layout with these words... hidden messages in CSS colors would also be something cool you could do. Ive thought about hiding ascii art in the source code before so iono. I also put the definitions of the words so you can have more context when your trying to decide if the colors match their definitions
