There's a series of colours I have used over the years in various projects - either on the web or for more traditional design for print - that I've become particularly fond of.
Many of them are colours I remember from when I was a kid exploring the contents of my watercolour paintbox.
This is my first attempt at recording them in a useful way, but of course Wikipedia got there before me and has produced this very useful list of lots of colours, including these.
More as an aide memoire than anything else, as fresh colours come into favour I plan to add them here.
