Let's have a bit of fun with the all-new teaming strap-ons shall we? Winning move is 'Peach Puff'.
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.
Violet
Not sure how to play - so I'll open with Puce.
turquoise
orange
Chocolate
gosh. OK. I'll play aubergine
White
Snot
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
teal
Oops, didn't mean to leave that test in at the end.
silver
5.55am and I'm bored. Only four hours till I finish work. Ummm. Flaggon.
pink
Does my bum look big in this? Umber
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).
green
Thought I'd give this a whirl! Apple white.
cyan
Just felt like a change...
magenta
Now I'm starting to look like a printer's registration mark...
cobalt blue
what the hell..
acid yellow
*hmm... it didn't know that last one*
Orchid
[pen] You can use 'Preview' if you want to hide your embarrassment...
Blue
Ah, the old ones are the best. I notice "off-white" gives black; a nice touch. I take it Hampster works?
medium violetred
[rab] I think I've found it.
Maroon
Raak] Medium violetred? Blimey.
battlship grey
[rab] I'm not embarrassed. It's just that the colour didn't suit me.
Dark Golden Rod
not heard it called that before [Raak] It would appear so...
ultra-violet
This is very exciting!
daffodil
Well, apart from that black, of course...
chalk blue
I'm not helping, am I?
brown
*beams*
midnight blue
*glooms*
Red
[Breadmaster] I'm playing safe...
Red
Ooh! It's like that moment I waited so long for on Pants MC has finally arrived!
Thistle
I suppose I do have a slightly unfair advantage... Anyhow, back to the game: burnt sienna.
Vomit
White Well it's not a very complete colour database
Peru
A simple start but not too exotic ochre
white
(white) - Dulux eggshell blue.
PapayaWhip
Bifurcating with Feldspar/HotPink
FireBrick
No further move. I'm just showing off.
Moccasin
Me too
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).
olive
This is all very exciting. wood green *ducks boots and shoes*/chocolate
mistyrose
Excellent. All I can say, then, is to reunify with muddy colour of old mixed-up plasticene, since that contains everything.
gray
Strange how dark grey is between light grey and grey.
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...
orange
Mediocrity. China Blue
medium sea green
Think this is all getting a bit complex for me, so going back to primary school. Red.
sky blue
nuclear yellow
Bisque
Playing it safe, Magnolia
Aquamarine
Playing it artfully - Dodger Blue
Fuchsia
Who the f**k is Alice Blue?
olive
Getting started with Burnt Umber
mediumaquamarine
Straight from the Dulux catalogue, Icelandic Blue.
bisque
Working for a painting contractor, this should be my area of expertise; Vanilla
Lime green
Yellow.
marmaduke
Powder blue
Oops... instinctively whacked the return key... I'll play Blue, wondering if we could have the tag team game too?
fuchsia
zinc afternoon
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.
peach puff
Will this game now go below the line?
Hot Pink
Obviously not!
Dodger Blue
Oh all right, let's try this ...Peach Puff
None
*shouts, screams, generally goes wild for Chalky*
eek
Hampster
Well done!
Recognised Colours
That's the best winner's statement I've seen for some time.
rosybrown
I have the impending gleam of an idea: user-defined colour names, automatically added to the table of recognised colours.
yellow
testing..
greenyellow
testing..
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.
Maroon
Jolly good show! Bouquets of roses all round!
