## About the `rebeccapurple` keyword

In 2014, Rebecca Alison Meyer, the daughter of [Eric A. Meyer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_A._Meyer), an American web design consultant best known for his advocacy work on behalf of CSS, passed away of a brain tumor at six years of age.

In her memory, the hex color `#663399` is named `rebeccapurple` and [added to the CSS Colors list](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2014Jun/0312.html).
