#987422
For the past few years, for some reason as a result of working with them so much, I've developed a knack for being able to see or think of a color and tell you pretty close to spot-on what the hex code is for that color, or conversely take a hex code and visualize what color it represents.
This "skill" has been the subject of both amazement and mockery around the workplace for a while.
Today during a meeting this ability somehow came up and I was jokingly asked, "Ok, so what's the hex code for the color of the edge of this table?"
I took a quick glance and said, "Looks like a #987422."
One of the guys jotted it down and after the meeting checked it out in PhotoShop.
The background color for this post is what came up, a near perfect match for the edge of our conference room table.
Yeah, I'm a big fat nerd! :)

I defy you to find one other person that has that ability. A few of the basic colors simply out of habit are common. However, to be able to just throw out hex code on the fly is crazy.
