>Lovely color, thanks for it! I'm going to use it in my UI. IMO, there is no ugly color.
De gustibus non est disputandum. But then, any military looking color won't get a passing mark from me - and this one is pretty much the olive-gray that I once had to wear.
>OTOH, I read in a magazine that there is an organization (Color Marketing Group Consultants Bureau) that defines color trends for each year, for everything, and that everybody that makes consumer goods (paints, houses, cars, bathroom racks,...) listens to what they say. IIRC the forecasts are done by about 2000 experts from around the world. Now, how come we, in the IT, are still looking for legitimacy, but color experts don't?
They have achieved the dictatorship status. We haven't.
