Here's a quick and dirty script for parsing the site and rendering the colors in an RGB scatter plot.

edit:
There's a couple of interesting things to see here:
* There's a clearly visible diagonal axis of the shades of grey.
* There's a cluster of colors around the default orange value.
* The "pink corner" of the color cube is very sparsely populated compared to the other ones.
I guess the clearly visible diagonal axis is because people just type the same distance for all the axes when they choose gray. So they would go like: dcdcdc or acacac etc.
