CSS gets a new logo and it uses the color `rebeccapurple`

> The color was originally going to be called beccapurple, but Meyer asked that it instead be named rebeccapurple, as his daughter had wanted to be called Rebecca once she had turned six. She had said that Becca was a "baby name," and that once she had turned six, she wanted to be called Rebecca. As Eric Meyer put it, "She made it to six. For almost twelve hours, she was six. So Rebecca it is and must be."

Wasn't expecting tears over a colour

..in 2014 in honor of Eric Meyer's daughter, Rebecca, who passed away at the age of six on her birthday from brain cancer.

You actually thought of that and then also wrote it down. You had to intentionally press "reply" to make the internet see this message.

I am stunned!

You look at the monstrosity that is the CSS spec(s), filled to the brim with horrible ideas like floats, the various overcomplicated positioning modes that no mortal can hope to ever fully understand, and undefined behavior left and right in general. And the "bloat" you end up singling out is... an addition to the otherwise 147 entries long color name table.[0]

That's just bizarre.
