Why?

correction: my first pink was # f f 9 9 9 9

I like ff69b4 hot pink

That's a nice, moderate tone. Not washed out, yet not too "electric" either!
For the past few months, I've been downloading ASCII color-code charts, horsing around with the letter-and-number combos, and building a personal reference chart of my own to use. It sure beats the hell out of acting like a responsible, productive adult. LOL

I just love it when I stumble upon comment chains like these ;) Thanks for the info on the new colors!

I'm glad to have been able to "pay it forward" here.....thank YOU! This reference chart is currently on my laptop speed-dial:

and just now discovered THIS one...https://spark.adobe.com/page/erG54/
which I will soon be visiting in deeper detail.

Whoa, those are amazing! Thanks so much!

Wanna repay me for my advice? Put those charts to good use! LOL
