Making Light:  Prophetable colors ::: July 15, 2004, 02:30 PM

julia:

  check out how many names there are for purpley maroon and maroony
  purple.

When you draw three-dimensional objects in Mathematica, the color
model it uses makes them mostly come out in shades of purple.  Hence
the maxim, "You can have any color of graph you like, as long as it's
mauve."

Randall P.:

  They had some style back in the depression.  I've officially decided
  that no one from the years 1930 to 1945 dressed poorly.

Yes, but the style was ecologically unsustainable.  Consider the
extinction of the zoots, eh, pachuco?

Randall P.:

  "Coppertunity" rules!  Can I put that on a t-shirt?

Probably, for a modest royalty, or an ambush lawsuit.
