Dict{String,Tuple{Int64,Int64,Int64}} with 666 entries:
“darkorchid” => (153, 50, 204)
“chocolate” => (210, 105, 30)

It’s actually not the number of the beast, but is a code that refers to the caesar Nero

See thousands of numbers on your screen every day and expect to see most numbers < 1000 every now and then. You probably saw 665 and 667 just the other day, but didn’t think about it.

It is probably just an effect of the Strong Law of the Small Numbers.
