That RvB link is gratuitous and mars the elegant simplicity of your post. Otherwise, excellent research which anthropologists will long ponder to unlock its implications.

How could you leave out www.chartreuse.net? Sheesh, they even admit to celebrating a color...

Tom

Chartreuse, eh? Well most english words are in fact registered domains these days. For example, "www.puce.com". I was sticking to the big names on the spectrum... I'm sure that white, black, brown, tan, beige, purple, and especially pink are all active domains. Heck, I bet MAUVE is a domain. Yep... Wir sprechen die Sprache der Fonds.

They don't really consider indigo to be one of the big names on the spectrum anymore, bud. It's been downgraded back to hang around with puce and chartreuse. So Tom may have wondered why you were giving special treatment to a has-been like indigo while snubbing other old-time faves.

But not all colors are on the spectrum. Magenta, for example, is not just not a big name, it ain't there at all. I'm reasonably sure chartreuse isn't there either.

When people talk about "all the colors of the rainbow" they're being discriminatory!

Sorry, my sixth grade Science teacher Mr. Engstrom drilled the name "Roy G. Biv" into my head and it's stuck with me. Indigo is forever a part of the spectrum for me. :-P

Good old Mr. Engstrom, I remember him well! By the way, did you check out roygbiv.com?

Tom

How about that? roygbiv is a registered domain! Strangely it appears to be a manufacturer of robotocis software... beats me what that has to do with old roy.

And Rutherford taught his students that the atom was like a pudding. Unlucky Roy now has no vowels in his last name. Maybe he's turned Welsh?
