Hexwords: Hex colors that are similar to words
7->T and 6->G is pushing it too far, imho.

Isn't LEET === 1337 pretty standard?

For some reason I used to think that 1337 was LEET upside down.

Bringing up the topic of "leet" actually serves in two capacities: not only is it a prime example of 7=T, but leetspeak's overall orthography [0] is conceptually similar to this "hexwords" site far beyond 7=T.

But then how am I supposed to turn a slur like #FA6607 into a nice (might I say
fruity
) shade of orange?

Well, we could be more careful about allowing #B16075 to design website palettes. :)

I'd like to have filters to play with different levels of substitution. Only alpha, only 3 -> e, etc.

2->Z as well. I've been a h4x0r for 25+ years and "21663D" looks nothing like "zigged" to me.

But 2 and 6 are more similar to Z and G than 3 are to E.

i agree, 9 would be better suited as G

It's all capital letters, so 6 = G instead of 9 = g
