Colorful words. (GEEK ALERT!)
A couple weeks ago, I was clicking the “Next Blog” button on the blogger navbar, and found this color calculator linked from one of those random blogs. Messing around with it somehow triggered the idea that one can spell certain six letter words and phrases with the hexadecimal base used for specifying colors in HTML. Here’s what I could come up with:
| Words: | Phrases using numbers: | Phrases using zero as an “oh”: | |||
| FACADE = | A DEAF 1 = | C00-C00 = | |||
| DEFACE = | 2 FACED = | F00D 4 2 = | |||
| DECADE = | 2 FADED = | C0DED 1 = | |||
| DEEDED = | ADDED 1 = | 4 A C0DE = | |||
| BEEFED = | 1 ADDED = | DEC0DE = | |||
| BEADED = | A DEAD 1 = | B00 B00 = | |||
| Phrases: | 1 2 B BAD = | D00 D00 = | |||
| BE A CAD = | BEEF 4 2 = | 2 BE 0DD = | |||
| BE A FAD = | 1 2 FADE = | 1 2 B 0DD = | |||
| BE DEAD = | 1 AB0DE = | ||||
I admit, some of these are pretty dumb. I’m sure there are others…
