Browsing through KoLmafia tells me it uses the Swing HTML parser, which probably explains why it doesn't understand colornames like "AliceBlue".

PhilmASTErpLus: KoLmafia can also interpret "rgb(x, y, z)". Should we try to clarify this once and for all (by looking at the source code) and explain it on the main page?

	That's true for named colors, but for numbers it appears to interpret some part of the number and chop the rest off; it was just a bit more than I wanted to look up in the moment. For instance, if you supply "#ff00000" (which is red with an extra 0), it used red; the "#" appears to make it choose the first 6 digits. However, you can leave off the "#" and it still works as expected with a 6-digit or 3-digit number; but anything else seems to be a weird substring match for which I can't find the logic.--[[User:StDoodle\|StDoodle]] 13:26, 10 March 2010 (UTC)		That's true for named colors, but for numbers it appears to interpret some part of the number and chop the rest off; it was just a bit more than I wanted to look up in the moment.
