I don't even see the colours anymore
(ttrpg.network)
Not the 50 shades of grey I expected.
Way weirder when used as a sex thing.
Using both grey and gray in the same graphic? That should be illegal.
get multicultured
Grey is lighter, gray is darker
græy
grey is english, gray is american.
OP made the meme while on a flight across the Atlantic ocean.
US Light grey is darker than US grey?
Believe it or not, but the colors are actually case sensitive. US Light is named after Uriel S. Light, a general in the US civil war. The lighter version of "US grey" would just be "US light grey"
I hate this but thanks
wasn't light grey darker than grey in 8 bit color?
"They're changing it from Ocean Grey to Military Grey. Something that should've been done a long time ago."
"that's the new military grey bit, there. That's the dowdy, old, nasty ocean grey bit, there. "
"...or was it the other way round?"
"The Green Goblin appe-"
"Hold up."
"What?"
"Why does the goblin's skin color matter?"
Green goblin - I sleep.
Faerun Verdant Forest Green goblin - REAL SHIT GOING DOWN
The Viridian Arthropod is casing the on
As a kid, I learned the word "verdant" by reading a Spider-Man novel in which Peter realized an organization was nefarious by recognizing the root "verde" in the name.
I think that, in the story, the organization was trying to reproduce The Hulk. Hence, green.
I learned it from the Verdant Flammable Device in A Series of Unfortunate Events.
Tell the scutters to paint over the ocean grey with military grey.
now neutral grey is military grey too.
Scientists: Brown = Orange
In the sense that brown is a very dark orange, and “very dark” just means there isn’t much light but the colour of the light that there is, is orange.
We are orange-haired orange-skinned people wearing orange shoes and orange leather jackets, own orange wallets, living in orange wood houses near orange and green Forrests with our orange pets.
Orange his house, with the orange little window and the orange corvette
And everything is orange for him, and himself, and everybody around, 'cause he ain't got nobody to listen to, to listen to, to listen to....
Now that's gonna be stuck in my head
Does that mean black and white are the same color?
Also scientists: blue is an illusion (mostly)
OK, but Citadel's colour names are the worst.
True, but I've also seen pictures of another paint called "drow nipple pink," and that's pretty weird too, imo.
There's 31 gray dots and 33 gray names listed. How am I supposed to pick the right gray‽
Commercial print artists use Pantone, or some other color standard--way too many colors for names. And, names are far too inaccurate, outside of clearly defined ones in the CMYK space, such as red being 100M, 100Y, etc. Just do an image search for any color name, any one at all, and see the range of what people think, for instance, orange is. Turquoise is another one, because natural turquoise appears in many different hues.
Paint artists use color names, I suppose. I don't know, I don't paint. But 'burnt umber' was fused into my brain by Bob Ross.
Digital artists are stuck with RGB, HEX, or whatever, and at the whims of whichever monitor their work ends up on.
In game dev we seem to use HSL a lot. Apparently it's better, but I find it hard to think about after years and years of HEX
If it isn't in rgb.txt, I don't even want to hear about it.
No eigengrau??
No gunmetal?
I dunno, I think 'normal' people do know some shades.
I know names of shades. I don't know what exactly the difference is between teal, turquoise, cyan, and blue-green.

salmon is too orange
Uh, artists use the classic pigments :-/
