Going with the NWO purple for the wikispooks sub?

All colours matter!

Yeah.

Symbolism has been baked into certain colors.

Purple is a glorious color.

I bought a purple pair of Guess jeans when I was in highschool.

It seemed like a great idea in the store, but it was actually a terrible idea.

Where I live purple is the color of eros. Why were the jeans a mistake? They attracted the wrong people? You don't need to answer that. :)

I hadn't considered NWO's purple, thought that makes sense, being neither left nor right, not to mention the royal colour. There are no colours or numbers or geometry or mascots or icons that don't have some loaded esoteric associations.

Actually, magnora7 and d3rr were going to help me solve a few problems with my CSS but at that time they were federating SaidIt. Then other stuff happened. I asked a few times more but haven't been persistent with it.

As far as the colours go, more vibrant = easier to see changes when coding. This bright purple was never the end goal. I was going to mute all these tones to more closely match the WikiSpooks logo in the top of the sidebox.

This 2 colour duo-tone theme (currently dark purple to light purple) can then be easily applied to any sub. When this CSS is finished I will apply it to the /s/GreenParty in greens and to /s/PinUps in flesh tones - and likely other subs too.

Also, eventually, I'll make a "Ergonomix-Muted" CSS that is the other CSS I use on most of my subs, except I'll tone down all the bright colours. Most folks here aren't blind after all.

Purple is a royal color. The other is gold.

Also red + blue = purple.

I wonder if they planned this decades ago.

All primary colours. It's not rocket surgery. It's just obvious.
