I once had an application were the customer required the GUI be almost the same color as Alice's (?name?) dress. I had thought about charging hazardous duty rates since looking at that color alll day burnt the image into my retina by the end of the day.

 

On another occation I passed a screen-shot back and forth between myself and the customer mutliple times before I gave up and said "just tell my the RGB values you want!". Any project that involves an "asthetics commity" requires allocating extra funding.

I wrote an Acceptance Test Plan that had a recient comment,

Just say

" red backround highlight" where I wrote "redish....". 

RE: comment "Just type "FFC0C0".

 

Guess what color the developer made the "highlighting" looks like......

 

LOL
