Let RGB be an rgb-code of color.

If R:G:B (or G:R:B, etc) relate as Fibonacci numbers
the color may be called Fibonacci color.

Here is a piece of html-code.
-------------------------------
<table border="0" width="500">
<tr bgcolor="825032">
<td>
<br>
<br>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
--------------------------------

bgcolor="825032", so
R = 82 hex = 130,
G = 50 hex = 80,
B = 32 hex = 50.
R:G:B = 13:8:5

Do Fibonacci colors have any especial properties?

Huh? 82 is hex, and 130 is decimal, surely.

?

Hello Sid,

inserting brackets as appropriate, you will have

R = ( 82 hex ) = 130

Sure I can go along with that.

Markup not code, C is code.

Well they're equivalent, not exactly equal, but sure.

>R:G:B = 13:8:5

Now you went and changed the values, incidentally this second set
*might* mean something. I touch on this later.

>Do Fibonacci colors have any especial properties?

No, referring to the original 130,80,50. Actually, if you just think
about this for a moment you'd see that the only Fib seq that really
means anything in an experiment such as this would be the sequence of
primes:

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, ...

Otherwise you're just picking picking two numbers and their sum, you
get a random color from the spectrum. You might get something out of
this above sequence but I don't think you will. The above would be
the only numbers you could use since the max R/G/B value is decimal
255.

What special properties are you looking for? About the only thing I
can dream up is they might end up asthetically pleasing but that is
subjective.

F'ups set, this has nothing to do with HTML or web design.

really? how did you solve the problem of cosmic dissonant frequencies?
