do people actually use color names in webdev?
I sometimes do for testing. Is this css working? I don't know, change the background to red as that will stand out
Red? Hotpink or bust!
You know you're desperate when you bust out that
background-color: redWhen you are wishing you could do !!importanter you know things are getting real desperate
me literally every time
EDIT: ~~erm ackshually it shouldve been "!!moreimportant"~~
I think so
I don't, except the "red means testing" scenario. It's 1½ keystrokes less than #f00
Red green blue when setting a BG color to remember a layer, but that's it.
Not really, but I feel like grayscale values would have been the most useful still, after
blackandwhite.With colors like orange, blue etc., the hue and lightness play a big role. But with grayscale values, it's pretty much just the lightness you care about, so there's a much higher chance of such a named value fitting what you want...
