Color is something that people take for granted or think of as trivial but it's actually rather complicated. There are some colors that can't be represented in print and some colors that can't be represented on a monitor. There are several different color spaces (RGB cube, L ＊a ＊b ＊, etc.) It doesn't help that CSS3 and HTML4 color modules are terrible (the darkest octant of the sRGB cube is empty and most of the colors are too saturated or and too light).

How is it pronounced?<p>Is it Zah-pee-err, as in, more zappy?<p>Or is it Zah-pee-eh, like it's a fancy french service?<p>Or is it Zah-peer, like a fancy Frenchman pronouncing "the peer"?
Am I the only one pained that none of the favicon, the "KNOOP" title, the links on the right, or the article's hyperlinks matched #FF4A00, or even eachother, even before I saw it? :D :D
Pretty close to the X/Web color "Orange Red"<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermilion_(color)#Orange-red" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermilion_(color)#Orange-red</a>
Interesting. It reminds me of this campaign I was going to start called the Facebook 300 Diet. The goal was to remove all of the non-essential cruft friends from your Facebook account to clean up your network to the most essential 300 friends. I created criteria to help you determine which friends should be removed and which ones should stay. The color #FB300D.
I probably wrote code to perform at least two dozen of these kinds of tasks for my last business and I'll probably be a customer for my next business. This definitely creates a lot of value for non-technical small businesses.<p>However, I'm not sure your landing page does a great job of communicating your product's value to non-technical people.
