  • So XKCD did some “colour survey” thing…

    colours

    • If you ask people to name colors long enough, they go totally crazy.
    • “Puke” and “vomit” are totally real colors.
    • Colorblind people are more likely than non-colorblind people to type “fuck this” (or some variant) and quit in frustration.
    • Indigo was totally just added to the rainbow so it would have 7 colors and make that “ROY G. BIV” acronym work, just like you always suspected. It should really be ROY GBP, with maybe a C or T thrown in there between G and B depending on how the spectrum was converted to RGB.
    • A couple dozen people embedded SQL ‘drop table’ statements in the color names. Nice try, kids.
    • Nobody can spell “fuchsia”.

    There’s more, but essentially the whole point of the survey was to see what colours people named. Or something.

    Either way – what you see above is some miscellaneous results from what people said.
