I was working on a post about integrating the TestFlight SDK into Unity, but since it is no more I’ll have to skip that topic.
Instead let me introduce, XKCD Colors as less mixins.
I am an avid reader of the XKCD comics. If you haven’t read it take a minute right now to go read some. It is a staple of internet culture.
Well, a little while ago Randall held a survey about color names. The survey showed a color on screen and asked the user to name it. The names for each hex code were compiled into a list. I converted the list into LESS mixins to make them more useful. You are free to download and us the file yourself.
Some color names contained characters not allowed in CSS. I converted spaces to dash (‘ ‘ to ‘-‘) slashes to double dashes (‘/’ to ‘–‘) and removed apostrophes. I also prefixed each color name with “xkcd-” to prevent conflicts. In total there are 949 colors.
Here’s a sample.
