The Czech Republic Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 Things to consider: --It's ROY G BIV, not ROY G BIP. --But who the hell calls it "violet"?
spiny norman Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 What's this ROY G BIV thing? I've never heard that before in my life.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 What's this ROY G BIV thing? I've never heard that before in my life. Coincidence - that was talked about in school in Thursday. It's the colours of the rainbow; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.
spiny norman Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 So it is, I've just never heard someone use that acronym before.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 So it is, I've just never heard someone use that acronym before. Neither had I until Thursday. Edit: And yeah, I voted purple/indigo.
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 They're teaching that in Grade 4 now, IB?
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 They're teaching that in Grade 4 now, IB? Hmmm, I don't think so - they say that Thursday between 10:10 and 11:25 is my "special time". Which means that I'm special.
k thx Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 Every morning just before I've got to get dressed for work is my special time.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 I'm a before bed guy, myself. That said, Purple is one of my all-time favorite words, so I voted that way.
rising up out of the back seat-nuh Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 i get yellow. my paint sucks.
Guest Fook Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 It has to be purple. "Violet nurple" just doesn't sound right.
Guest croweater Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 So it is, I've just never heard someone use that acronym before. Neither had I until Thursday. Edit: And yeah, I voted purple/indigo. I didn't think indigo was an option? It would be quite silly if you mixed red and blue and got ....blue.
Murmuring Beast Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 Last night when I saw this, I thought this was a thread on alcohol.

Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted May 31, 2004 Report Posted May 31, 2004 i get yellow. my paint sucks. Notice the emphasised word in the thread's title. And you seriously went to the trouble of going out and mixing that?

I didn't think indigo was an option? It would be quite silly if you mixed red and blue and got ....blue. Indigo is purple. indigo is blue.... this could go on for days From the Macquarie dictionary: Indigo n. a blue dye obtained from various plants Type indigo into a search engine.... If you consistently come up with something purple I'll give you a headjob. okay?
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted May 31, 2004 Report Posted May 31, 2004 you're arguing with IB. Just give up now.

If you consistently come up with something purple I'll give you a headjob. okay? But the 'B' in 'ROYGBIV' stands for blue - indigo is purple. It may not be the exact purple, but it's still a shade enough to render it that and set it apart enough from blue in 'ROYGBIV' because of that.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted May 31, 2004 Report Posted May 31, 2004 Indigo is not purple. It's not blue, either. It's its own color. Indigo. That's why it's differentiated in that acronym. It's this color:
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted May 31, 2004 Report Posted May 31, 2004 Well, I'll admit that it does look more blue than purple.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted May 31, 2004 Report Posted May 31, 2004 Indigo, you fuckin' pinhead. Not Blue; Not Purple. When you see something that color again in your life, you can feel smart by going, "Say, everyone else see this indigo colored object I'm pointing out? C'mon, look. Look, c'mon. It's indigo, look, look."

When you see something that color again in your life, you can feel smart by going, "Say, everyone else see this indigo colored object I'm pointing out? C'mon, look. Look, c'mon. It's indigo, look, look." I said "looks"! I wasn't disagreeing with you, I was more agreeing with croweater. But if I saw something like that, I'd just call it blue. As would most.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted May 31, 2004 Report Posted May 31, 2004 And I'd cut off their fucking tongues.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted May 31, 2004 Report Posted May 31, 2004 Well that's fair enough. But yeah, I was always told that indigo was purple. Damn school teachers, huh? Back to 24.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted May 31, 2004 Report Posted May 31, 2004 All this talk of indigo makes me cry.
Guest croweater Posted May 31, 2004 Report Posted May 31, 2004 "I went to the doctor, I went to the mountain, I spoke to the children, I drank from the fountain" .... my mum went through a phase of listening to the indigo girls...... I got worried. Ok. Yes Indigo is its own colour. But, in common terminology we would probably call it blue (whether AOO would cut of our fucking tongues or not) because it looks like a dark blue, where as blue, in the rainbow context, is a lighter colour. This is the most pointless argument ever.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted May 31, 2004 Report Posted May 31, 2004 Using HTML Color Code To me, Violet looks more like purple than purple does, if thats possible.
