- mrob 9mo agoIf you're color blind, you change the palette in your terminal emulator so "red" and "green" become different colors you can distinguish. It even works for rarer forms of color blindness. This works best when people follow the de-facto standard.
- skydhash 9mo agoRed here does not mean #ff0000. it means color 1. in the 4 bit colors palette
- hulitu 8mo ago> Red here does not mean #ff0000 For you maybe. "Look it is not gray on gray is black #777777 on white #333333". /s
- BeetleB 9mo agoIf for something unrelated to good/bad looks good, I'm using red. Ditto for green. Sure, if it was a status indicator and I used red for "good", I can see the point. But over the last few years I've had too many people tell me "Don't use red, people will think something is wrong" for things not semantically tied to good/bad. People wear red clothes. They buy red cars. They eat red food. They date red heads. Red is OK.
