Did you gain access to the words that comprise the clue? How did you come up with 'Yet'?

"Even option grants access"?
Three letters, YET is a synonym for EVEN as in "even so", "option" == "Y", the rest I dunno, but there aren't that many three letter words that start with 'Y'!

Hmmm,
You have found the clue but looks like you missed the operator/indicator and chose the wrong definition. Look at it again?

It is more like 'grants access' - like the code on your phone?

Lately I know more of them (2 this week), but still no good at creating them... So no...
Me think I will create a few in the weekends to store for case I do know the answer, but not today...
(but nevertheless - it makes me feel got to solve some of them)

Are those names real? Or you added them to create the clue?

I seeded at least two of them to create the clue a few days ago.

If you use the developer tools, then the HTML colour codes are easy to get: for Chrome, right click the page and select "Inspect". The tools window has a "Elements" tab, and it's pretty easy to find the source of his question. With that, you get HTML like this:
<td colspan="2"><font color="#dc5d46" face="courier" size="10">█</font><font color="#b9bec1" face="courier" size="10">█</font><font color="#55b46b" face="courier" size="10">█</font><font color="#accede" face="courier" size="10">█</font><font color="#000000" face="courier" size="10">(3)</font><br>

<br> Then all you need to do is enter those into the website he provided and they give you the names: Name all the colors @ colornames.org[^]

Hi,
Sorry about that, I took a look at the TLS certificate and see that it's both a wildcard * and multi-domain certificate. It's a Cloudflare free certificate. There are plenty of organizations that will block these types. Both the wildcard and multi-domain are red flags for some organizations.
DNS Name=*.colornames.org
DNS Name=colornames.org
DNS Name=sni.cloudflaressl.com The 'Colourful' clue was just an experiment. The next time I do one of these I'll do something completely different... I've already got something in mind.
Best Wishes,
