Orange, red? I don’t know what to believe anymore!

The Color Survey Results by xkcd may not be exactly scientific (if people gave the same answer repeatedly for colors of wildly varying hue, I threw out all their results) but they sure are funny. Below are things people came up with while labeling colors:

He made a few startling discoveries in the course of the "study":

• If you ask people to name colors long enough, they go totally crazy.
• “Puke” and “vomit” are totally real colors.
• Colorblind people are more likely than non-colorblind people to type “fuck this” (or some variant) and quit in frustration.
• Indigo was totally just added to the rainbow so it would have 7 colors and make that “ROY G. BIV” acronym work, just like you always suspected. It should really be ROY GBP, with maybe a C or T thrown in there between G and B depending on how the spectrum was converted to RGB.
• A couple dozen people embedded SQL ‘drop table’ statements in the color names. Nice try, kids.
• Nobody can spell “fuchsia”.
