I was asked to help a friend with his website, that he created years ago by copying other sites and adding his own content (he has no idea what he is doing with html).
There's a lot of garbage in there, and I'm removing a lot of html and converting to css.
But the most baffling are these color codes I found that shouldn't work, but do.

<body bgcolor="black" text="#FFFAFA" link="#DIC597" alink="red" vlink="#PQ5678">

I googled the link colour: DIC597 and found a colour palette that is probably for paint? It was a bright yellow, so not the right colour.
Now if we accept that browsers (Firefox and Chrome, at least) will correct mistakes, you could change the I to a 1 and that would be a valid color hex code ... and that is the colour that the browsers show.

But what about the vlink colour? PQ doesn't look like anything in the hex code limitations. Googling it gets me nowhere. And the browsers are "correcting" it because it's not the default purple/violet. Go ahead and try it. It's baffling.

But maybe someone here has seen this sorta thing before? Or maybe you can guess what the browsers are translating it to?

I'd like to keep his colours, but using either of these in css causes it to revert to the default colours!
Weird that the browsers will fix it if it's html but not if it's css.

I don't know what the second colour is, so I'd really like some help identifying that, based on the "hex code".

Thanks!

I wonder how well face recognition works if you're wearing a Covid-style mask...

Not too bad, I think. My program managed to sort picture of a guy that used to have really large whole beard and then shaved it off correctly. It also got people with black sunglasses right.

But in general, according to the documentation, at least my program works with distances. Between the eyes, from eye to mouth, that kind of things. So hiding the mouth or eyes should make it less probably to get a hit, but not impossible I think. I don't know if the pro programs work the same way.
