Doctor Q 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?
 
Nature likes symmetry, so we should too!

Hmmm... it looks a bit like a "Q". :)

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

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.

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

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.)
