Never Use Black (2012)
A colleague who's a CSS wizard was working on a site where a defined colour in SCSS was "black" and it was #333333. He added a darker black at #222222, and then didn't call it "dark_black" and I've never forgiven him.

Could have been blackblack or blacker. Leaves room for the next level to be blackblackblack or blackest.

1) darker_blackblackest vs 2) darkest_blackblack, vote for the one closer to #000, GO!

That face when somebody decides it’s easier to reassign the VantaBlack var from #000 to #111, and later somebody needs a different #000

Inb4: “We can't use #000000 because we don't have a license for VantaBlack.”

How does a software engineer pass up the opportunity to reference either Spinal Tap or Douglas Adams?
