Team Talk

Let's have a bit of fun with the all-new teaming strap-ons shall we? Winning move is 'Peach Puff'.

And so it begins...

• rab (Gold)
  Right, you should be able to work out how it works... enter a colour into the 'Team' box, click Preview to see if it's recognised, Submit to commit yourself to this folly. Oh, and we may as well play a game whilst we're at it: Teal.
• snorgle (Violet)
  Not sure how to play - so I'll open with Puce.
• Lib (turquoise)
  orange
• Chalky (Chocolate)
  gosh. OK. I'll play aubergine
• Simons Mith (White)
  Snot
• Raak (indigo)
  fuligin [rab] What colours do you recognise? In the source, the colours are all in hex -- any reason not to simply copy the name the player gave?Raak
• Raak (teal)
  Oops, didn't mean to leave that test in at the end.
• Lib (silver)
  5.55am and I'm bored. Only four hours till I finish work. Ummm. Flaggon.
• penelope (pink)
  Does my bum look big in this? Umber
• rab (Dodger Blue)
  I really don't think you're trying hard enough: aquamarine [Raak] I expect you'll be able to track down the list of colours I've purloined without too much difficulty :) I'd like to leave it as a challenge at least until the game ends. As to why I don't just copy the colours - I'm not sure which browsers understand which colour names, so thought it was easiest to generate the hex that they can all speak. (Plus, none of them know Hampster).
• Uncle Korky (green)
  Thought I'd give this a whirl! Apple white.
• penelope (cyan)
  Just felt like a change...
• penelope (magenta)
  Now I'm starting to look like a printer's registration mark...
• penelope (cobalt blue)
  what the hell..
• penelope (acid yellow)
  *hmm... it didn't know that last one*
• rab (Orchid)
  [pen] You can use 'Preview' if you want to hide your embarrassment...
• Tuj (Blue)
  Ah, the old ones are the best. I notice "off-white" gives black; a nice touch. I take it Hampster works?
• Raak (medium violetred)
  [rab] I think I've found it.
• Tuj (Maroon)
  Raak] Medium violetred? Blimey.
• penelope (battlship grey)
  [rab] I'm not embarrassed. It's just that the colour didn't suit me.
• rab (Dark Golden Rod)
  not heard it called that before [Raak] It would appear so...
• Breadmaster (ultra-violet)
  This is very exciting!
• Breadmaster (daffodil)
  Well, apart from that black, of course...
• Breadmaster (chalk blue)
  I'm not helping, am I?
• penelope (brown)
  *beams*
• Raak (midnight blue)
  *glooms*
• Uncle Korky (Red)
  [Breadmaster] I'm playing safe...
• Uncle Korky (Red)
  Ooh! It's like that moment I waited so long for on Pants MC has finally arrived!
• rab (Thistle)
  I suppose I do have a slightly unfair advantage... Anyhow, back to the game: burnt sienna.
• Simons Mith (Vomit)
  White Well it's not a very complete colour database
• Inkspot (Peru)
  A simple start but not too exotic ochre
• Bif (white)
  (white) - Dulux eggshell blue.
• Chalky (PapayaWhip)
  Bifurcating with Feldspar/HotPink
• Chalky (FireBrick)
  No further move. I'm just showing off.
• Bif (Moccasin)
  Me too
• rab (Blanched almond)
  So, you've all found a list then? :) For those who haven't, here's one. There are still Things To Do, like internationalise the spelling of grey, and maybe make the algorithm make a reasonable guess if you don't get the name exactly right. (Note that capitalisation and spacing is irrelevant, though).
• ZK (olive)
  This is all very exciting. wood green *ducks boots and shoes*/chocolate
• Breadmaster (mistyrose)
  Excellent. All I can say, then, is to reunify with muddy colour of old mixed-up plasticene, since that contains everything.
• Raak (gray)
  Strange how dark grey is between light grey and grey.
• Tuj (Snow)
  Darkkhaki, without the space... I remember I used to have my name this colour over at YAMCS... Wow, Yet Another Mornington Crescent Server, that takes me back...
• penelope (orange)
  Mediocrity. China Blue
• Lib (medium sea green)
  Think this is all getting a bit complex for me, so going back to primary school. Red.
• Projoy (sky blue)
  nuclear yellow
• Inkspot (Bisque)
  Playing it safe, Magnolia
• Chalky (Aquamarine)
  Playing it artfully - Dodger Blue
• rab (Fuchsia)
  Who the f**k is Alice Blue?
• Kim (olive)
  Getting started with Burnt Umber
• Uncle Korky (mediumaquamarine)
  Straight from the Dulux catalogue, Icelandic Blue.
• Ella (bisque)
  Working for a painting contractor, this should be my area of expertise; Vanilla
• Simons Mith (Lime green)
  Yellow.
• Tuj (marmaduke)
• Tuj (Powder blue)
  Oops... instinctively whacked the return key... I'll play Blue, wondering if we could have the tag team game too?
• Raak (fuchsia)
  zinc afternoon
• rab (Hot pink)
  Moving towards green chartreuse. [Tuj] Well, this game was intended as a kind of warm-up to test out the team colours I suggest we head to Peach Puff as quick as we can and then start a proper team game.
• Chalky (peach puff)
  Will this game now go below the line?
• Chalky (Hot Pink)
  Obviously not!
• Chalky (Dodger Blue)
  Oh all right, let's try this ...Peach Puff
• Audience
  *shouts, screams, generally goes wild for Chalky*
• Chalky
  eek
• rab (Hampster)
  Well done!
• Tuj (Recognised Colours)
  That's the best winner's statement I've seen for some time.
• Raak (rosybrown)
  I have the impending gleam of an idea: user-defined colour names, automatically added to the table of recognised colours.
• snorgle (yellow)
  testing..
• snorgle (greenyellow)
  testing..
• rab (Plum)
  [Raak] I wasn't sure at first, but having thought about it, this wouldn't be too difficult. As you may have spotted, I'm a fan of a simple UI so I need to think a bit about how to do it unobtrusively. Oh, and I need to move house, but I'll get a Round Tuit.
• Kim (Maroon)
  Jolly good show! Bouquets of roses all round!

This is the end of the line. There is no more.
