Colors

Gacked from [livejournal.com profile] sraun.

To find what color you are, enter [font color=yourusername][b]yourusername[/b][/font] in your lj. (Replace square brackets with angle brackets, and make the other obvious substitutions.)

It appears that I am stoutfellow.

Hunh. I'm black? That's boring.

Edited to add: Mozilla says I'm black. IE yields a very pale green.

DD-B reports that it's browser specific - from what I can tell, some browsers (Mozilla, for one), only do exact matching on their exact list of color names. Apparently others are doing some kind of partial match - IE is returning the value before your match fails (stoutfellow is between SpringGreen and SteelBlue, so it returns SpringGreen). I'm guessing other browsers are returning the color after (some browsers would apparently return SteelBlue?)

See http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp for a list of color names.

I'm not sure exactly what Mozilla is doing. It depicts your color correctly, and likewise [livejournal.com profile] nlbarber's and [livejournal.com profile] fairestcat's; but mine and [livejournal.com profile] neonnurse's appear black.
