Heart

As a tribute to Eric Meyer’s daughter Rebecca, the named colour rebeccapurple has been accepted into the CSS spec. Rebecca passed away on her sixth birthday recently.

All the major browser engines have indicated they will be implementing the change. It’s pleasing to work in an industry that pays tributes to its contributors and their families in this way.

To include the tribute in your CSS, you could add the following to your copy of normalize.css

a {
 color: blue;
}

a:visited {
 color: #663399;
 color: rebeccapurple;
}

a:active {
 color: red;
}
