## About the `rebeccapurple` keyword

In 2014, Rebecca Alison Meyer, the daughter of [Eric A. Meyer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_A._Meyer), an American web design consultant best known for his advocacy work on behalf of CSS, passed away of a brain tumor at six years of age.

In her memory, the hex color `#663399` is named `rebeccapurple` and [added to the CSS Colors list](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2014Jun/0312.html).

## Usage

Add [PostCSS RebeccaPurple] to your project:

```bash
npm install postcss postcss-color-rebeccapurple --save-dev
```

Use it as a [PostCSS] plugin:

```js
const postcss = require('postcss');
const postcssRebeccaPurple = require('postcss-color-rebeccapurple');

postcss([
	postcssRebeccaPurple(/* pluginOptions */)
]).process(YOUR_CSS /*, processOptions */);
```



## Options

### preserve

The `preserve` option determines whether the original notation
is preserved. By default, it is not preserved.

```js
postcssRebeccaPurple({ preserve: true })
```

```css
.heading {
	color: rebeccapurple;
}

/* becomes */

.heading {
	color: #639;
	color: rebeccapurple;
}
```
