...Is something I haven't done for a while, and I felt I had to do something without need or meaning. So I decided to find the Hexadecimal colour code for my eye colour.
I think it's 000066, which is incidentally the same colour of Classic Goo. I always knew I was special.
Note that I'm probably wrong and 000066 is probably actually darker than I thought.

Wow. That's the coolest pointless thing I've ever heard of! 
My eye color would never work; it changes all the time and is never just one shade. THe color of Goo you say? Gorgeous!

Yeah. It's probably a bit lighter though.

Why, thank you, Crazyhorse for your congratulatory notage. It is most welcome at this celebratory revelation of the coincidental similarities between my organs of sight and the Interwebular design and colour schematics of this hypertext entity's most favoured optional skins.

black on green is my personal choice

Well I cannot recall ever having a mixture of black and green eye irises.

Researcher 178815 Posted Mar 18, 2004
Well, apparently it would be some kind of green - but the 'gold' thing just puzzles me.

At least it'd not 0000666!

If that was a typo - what's wrong with 000066 eyes?
If it wasn't - 0000666 - hm. If you entered that into a hex/HtmlNamedColour 'parser' for want of a better word, it wouldn't process it as hex, but a named colour. And when you enter a colour that isn't actually registered, it can come up with anything - wouldn't it be funny if it actually came back crimson red?
By the way. The hex code for the colour of my cable modem's 'Activity' light is F58836.
