Because Chuck Norris invented the entire spectrum of visible light. Except pink. The color value "tomcruise" produces a particularly girly shade of pink.

Wait, so is this a browser easter egg or just a result of parsing out non-hex characters?

non-hex. #chuckn falls back to #c00c00

Chuck->angry->blood->red. Not sure why this was even a question.
