I stared at that Pantone slide for way too long. I had read "online lime" as "orange lime" at first and was like "but it's green"? Really thought it was The Dress all over again.
Just delightful! You whisked me back to the days of web-safe colors. My company's website at the time had data charts that looked like the circus had come to town!
I think I read somewhere that one reason blue became the dominant color of the internet was because so many early founders and front-end developers (including Zuckerberg) had red-green color blindness. Unlike other color options, blue is easy for them to distinguish.
love it! i definitely think of the beige of an old desktop and the blue of early facebook as the most internety colors. but the old school green text does give nice "hacker voice: i'm in" vibes even if you don't actually see it online these days

I love an experimental content type. Nice work!
Lovely post :) It reminded me of Laurel Scwhulst's equal lovely reflection of 10 years of internet colors https://rhizome.org/editorial/2020/jan/06/laurel-schwulsts-decade-in-internet/
Really enjoyed this format!
Ha! That was clever!
Now I want to make one! It's always so refreshing to break out of constraints imposed by a format
This was so fun to read! Love the experimentation!
Well that was fun!
Love this!

i love everything about this!!
I loved this as a beauty and tech writer and present to you a flower for enduring the canva coal mines to create it: 🌸🤝❤️
Love this Caitlin! Very worthwhile experiment.
