I beg your pardon?

One interesting feature of html boilerplate was that, in its CSS, it set the background color of selected text to #fe57a1 (hot pink). For the longest time, it was a pretty easy way to identify an HB-based site as many developers didn't customize text selection. It also looked rather neat.

For some reason, they've removed it in v4.

What a strangely fascinating now-arcane bit of internet lore.

Thank you for the explanation.

It's the pink color that used to be used for selection.
