16 colors is all one needs. Glad someone is calling this out.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Bro why there literally aren't even 16 colors in the rainbow.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Black and white are not in the rainbow, but without them newspapers look weird. (That gets us to like 9?)

Light blue and dark blue are nice.

I give up. You win.

Without bright green and dark bright green our game boys would look ridiculous. So that’s found two more primary colours we need to keep.

Just one last colour to discover.

It's octarine, obviously

Without white there can’t be a rainbow. With black there is no rainbow visible.

It's a proven fact that we need no more than 3 colors

Isn't that only for coloring a map?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

We don't need magenta and cyan.

calibrations stop

Okay but seriously, can manufacturers be more honest with response times, please

Also:

no real-world use for more than sRGB

That's very true, actually. For most consumers, at least.

I'm so happy that I went with a good quality sRGB-only monitor instead of a wide gamut one that makes lots of other tradeoffs

Glad to see this meme format make a comeback.

It died to soon and I thought it had potential, and here it is living up to said potential.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I think there's definitely growth potential here which is what motivated me to post it. Meme stonks going to the moon or something.

You ‘ll get amber and be happy.

Something like this but for colors? Hmmm
