xkcd colors

By way of nycki @nycki@bark.lgbt I discovered XKCD colors

The 954 most common RGB monitor colors, as defined by several hundred thousand participants in the xkcd color name survey.

Available as a text file and a .css file. As nycki notes:

so now when I want a color on my website I can just write `color: var(--xkcd- off-white)` or so on. it's really convenient :)

Edit: nycki added the XKCD results blog post to their fediverse post.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
