Doctor Q (http://forums.macrumors.com/member.php?u=12149) started posting in the color FF00FF 3 days ago (May 30).

We all know Dr. Q well enough to know he has a very good reason, but he isn't divulging that information just yet, so it's up to us to figure it out.

Any ideas?

I've noticed mattscot and Peace doing it to. Just another theme thing.

Just another theme thing.All good themes must come to an end. Sorry. Couldn't resist that pun. :o

This is a very interesting thread.

Can you blame Dr. Q for liking symmetry?

[Doctor Q]

Nature likes symmetry, so we should too!75520Hmmm... it looks a bit like a "Q". :)

It's true that I'm using this color because I like the hex pattern.

Very, very sly of you Dr. Q to suggest I start a thread. Fool me once... ;)

What is siurpeeman up to with this color?

To my eyes, his color looks the same as my color, but I know I can't really tell. DigitalColor Meter.app tells me they are quite different.

Your is quite a bit brighter, and a far different shade of the spectrum.

[Sun Baked]

I see nothing wrong with POOF singing in the key of FF00FF.

[Doctor Q]

Symmetry is cool, and so is stylometry (http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/0510/p15s02-stss.html), which could be used to tell if my post is real or a forgery!

[Doctor Q]

How 'bout this color used by r6girl vs. mine?

Looks exactly the same to me.

i'm getting pretty anxious, too. nearly every day i give my husband a little countdown time to the release date - actually, i give him several based on the multiple dates being thrown around out there. at this point, he probably wants the iphone to be released asap so i will stop reciting the countdown daily. :p

They look the same to me too.

Woah.... Deja Vu, man...:D...

I been using purple since late February or early March, so I'm technically not a part of this.:)

Also just noticed my brother has posted in this thread. :)

Ooh, maybe we should argue about whether black is or is not a color. I say it is, since it's the same as dark red. :cool:

If it's included in a box of crayons, it's a color. ;)

[xsedrinam]

If it's not, I've been paying way too much for printer cartridges just to add a non-color to the arsenal. :)

Sorry, black isn't a hue (color); rather, it's a "achromatic color" (which is such an oxymoron). Either is white, sort of... White is a shade, but not a hue. White, can also be considered a achromatic color because after all, it's not a hue, only a shade. A shade, is in fact, the mixture of a color with black, while a tint is the mixture of a color with white.

So the real question here is, since white is a shade, is black a tint?

(This is what I get for using Wikipedia.)

[emw]

Depending on your color space, black can be the absence of all color (R=G=B=0) or the presence of all colors (C=M=Y=100).

So perhaps the question also depends on the medium. In our case, viewing forum pages on the web in RGB color, black would technically be the absence of all colors.

This is complicated somewhat by the fact that it is unlikely that even R=G=B=0 will provide a "true" black that contains no other color contamination, primarily because of the imperfect ability of a CRT or LCD to produce a true absence of color.

Therefore, I'd maintain that in the context of this forum, black would indeed be a color.

Then is it really black?

If there's a black tree in a forest, but no one's around to see it, is it still a color?

[mad jew]

I'm not black but I'm definitely mad.

[Cassie]

Wow I didn't think anyone would get that. But yes, you are right.

It's fatandlazy11 the king of annoyance, as he likes to be called. (He insists I add the "King" part to it)

As a young teenager not understanding much, I say black and white are colors.

That would depend on if it made a sound. ;)

Given that the post was made at 4.38am (for me), I'm not surprised I screwed up ;).

i'm actually very drawn to this color. i could change it if you prefer.

No, there's something to be said for two tone. It has a certain charm.

[Doctor Q]

i'm actually very drawn to this color.Does it match the main color in your profile picture (http://forums.macrumors.com/image.php?u=91658&type=profile)?

Almost but not quite, the profile pic one is more bluey.

What's all this color stuff about ? It all looks normal to me :p

Remember to fill your plate with many colors, and in my book, that means whatever you can get your hands on.

And yes, that took me about 15 minutes to get it all right. But I love color!

I keep expecting to see a post by vniow, but it's someone else. Very confusing. Not that she owns the theme, but she and some of the other ladies seemed to make it their own.

Oh, I do own it. Everyone else is violating copyright.
