Hey everyone,

About a year ago I embarked on creating a color scheme for a project and I loved it so much I began using it for everything. I decided to make an official repo for it to share with the world.

Anyhoo, hope y'all enjoy it.

Why is this the color scheme for internet lovers?

How were these specific colors chosen to represent the internet?

Idk about "represent the internet" but here's how I came up with the palette: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43072869

Thanks for the background! It leaves me confused since this is marketed for internet lovers yet the connection to a love for the internet isn’t answered. For instance, I see a bunch of Cat6 cable colors as your choices, or perhaps you could’ve selected a ranked collection of the most popular colors used on the internet, or even the colors for best legibility on digital screens. Where’s the connection, what in particular should fans of the internet be drawn to about your particular palette?
