For example #bf00ff is a nice colour code. Also known as electric purple.

Not my favorite, but I use this one for debugging #FF00FF.

It started back then in the early 2000s when I used to modify winamp skins, which used this particular color for transparency in their BMP sprites (no PNGs back than). Since then it stuck with me.

I also used to use that color for transparency. When I made something in MS Paint I set that color to where I wanted transparency so I could move it to other window with transparent selection. Nice workflow for simple pixel art but I would rather use GIMP these days.

yeah,, Gimp ain't much different from MS Paint regarding UX 😂 /s

I know Minecraft uses that for the “broken” texture.
