I'm sorry to disagree, but according to the rules for parsing a legacy color value posted by @Yuhongposted by Yuhong Bao, chucknorris does not equate to #CC0000, but rather to #C00000, a very similar but slightly different hue of red. I used the Firefox ColorZilla add-on to verify this.
The rules state:
- make the string a length that is a multiple of 3 by adding 0s:
chucknorris0 - separate the string into three equal length strings:
chuc knor ris0 - truncate each string to two characters:
ch kn ri - keep the hex values, and add 0's where necessary:
C0 00 00
I was able to use these rules to correctly interpret the following strings:

The original answerers who said the color was #CC0000 have since edited their answers to include the correction.

Unfortunately I have not yet been able to determine why this doesn't seem to work for adamlevine which should be ADE0E0 but it's actually AD0E0E.
Edit:
adamlevinedoes work as per http://jsfiddle.net/LdyZ8/2959/ but the letters are blocked into ada00e000e which is padded to ada00e000e00 but then reduced down to the typical HEX 6 digit value of [ad]a0[0e]00[0e]00 thus making ad0e0e which appears in the jsfiddle above.
