      This is the second time I’ve heard that. Are you guys on old monitors? Sometimes Apple products change the colors too.

        It’s night and my eyestrain filter turned on. Looks brown. I’ma check again in the morning.

        My first thought was it looked like the family pet did the arse scoot across the carpet after suffering diarrhea…

    I saw a more fleshed out version with the quote: “Colour theory don’t mean shit when you’re leaving blood trails”. I think about that when colour theory and this meme are being discussed.

    Stated with so much authority, and “blood, gore, injury” etc aren’t even included. What a bloody idiot.

    It looks more like brown on my screen, which could look like something else: as if a dog pooped in the hall and a Roomba ran over it.

    Fun fact about color theory: it’s situational and tied to context. You can’t just follow it blindly like some moron.

    Beyond the basic “red means stop” or “blue feels calm” stuff, there are cultural associations that can’t be ignored. Take purple and green, for example. In the U.S., you’ll rarely see them paired in a corporate brand because pop culture, especially comics, has used that combo for villains so often. Think the Joker, Green Goblin, Maleficent… it’s baked into the visual shorthand.

    Like it or not, those patterns get lodged in a culture’s collective subconscious. People will still use the combo, but someone who dislikes it often can’t explain why. The reason is decades of media have trained their brain to read “purple + green = bad.”

    Same with red streaks. Our monkey brains connect it to danger or injury almost instantly. That one’s probably wired into us from way back. See blood, assume something’s wrong.

      Thanks for explaining why I “love” green+purple, but somehow always shy away from it… looks great, feels odd

        Aye, I was more pissed about this color equals this emotion logic thrown out by the idiot in the screenshot. Also the person using it in this context transcends ignorance to a new level of stupid unfounded.

          Depends on your age, and your influences. Lust is a big part of why young people become groomed.

            It probably more is the difference of lust vs desire. Lust implying sinful attraction, or excessive attraction.

            Also note, I don’t think that way about those words personally, but it was the first reason I could think of for why it would be included in the negative stuff.
