That's not how you make coffee!

Walking past the shopping list, I noticed that the word 'COFFEE' was a valid RGB hex triplet (if you substituted the '0' for an 'o'). Colours in HTML are specifed in three hexidecimal values, each representing the amount of red, blue and green. By adding the '5' as an 'S',and the '1' as an 'l', I was able to make the following colour words: (Those viewing this post through an aggregator may be missing out on the colours)

COFFEE


FABLES


SCALED


DECALS


LOAFED



DECODE


DEFACE


COOLED


FOOLED


BLEEDS


What have I learned from this excercise? well, that randomly picking colours tends to generate fairly disgusting ones. Perhaps that's why strange banana makes such horrible designs most of the time...
