1/5. Red - #f05360:
This colour closely resembles "Living Coral" (Pantone 16-1546), which was Pantone’s Colour of the Year in 2019. The creator of the Hackquire™ book chose this as it represents their curious character, sitting between the vividness of red and the calming nature of pink.
2/5. Light Purple - #cc87ba:
This shade closely resembles "Radiant Orchid" (Pantone 18-3224), which was Pantone’s Colour of the Year in 2014. The creator loves this colour as it connects to their drive that gives everyone a boost of hope. It was embraced by the fashion world in the 1950s, which, like our typography, shows our love for history and passion for the future.
3/5. Purple - #835ea8:
This shade closely resembles "Amethyst Orchid" (Pantone 17-3628 TCX). The creator chose this colour to reflect their deep love for intellectual growth, a core theme of the Hackquire™ book. Purple aligns with the noble pursuit of knowledge embodied in the book.
4/5. Green - #67bf74:
This colour closely connects to "Lime Punch" (Pantone 13-0550 TCX) and adds a pop of energy and excitement, which is very much in the spirit of the creator who chose it. Their logical love, as they call it, could be a colour in its own right—Logical Love!
5/5. Yellow - #f2e208:
This shade revolves around "Lemon Zest" (Pantone 13-0752 TCX). This colour was chosen by the fifth creator, who is certainly not last in any way, as it stimulates mental activity with their rebellious approach to creativity. The original reason this creator chose this colour was due to a cake they were lucky to have once.

101. What Does Hex Mean?
Hex, short for hexadecimal, is a six-digit code used in digital design to represent colour. It starts with a "#" followed by three pairs of characters that indicate the levels of red, green, and blue (RGB). Hex codes ensure consistent colour across devices.
102. What Does TCX Mean?
TCX stands for "Textile Cotton eXtended" and is used for Pantone colours in the textile and fashion industries. When "TCX" is included, it typically means the colours are from the Pantone Fashion, Home + Interiors (FHI) Cotton System. Colours without "TCX" are often from the broader Pantone Matching System (PMS), which is used for other industries.
