Complexity is purple because…
“Purple is a weird color, and complexity is weird.”
“Purple is a beautiful secondary colour, made of 2 colours, and yes, so are green and orange, but purple is just more so.”
“Purple makes me think of psychology, and the human brain is very complex.”
“The most common combination of two colors, which makes it a complex color.”
“Purple isn’t simple, like black or white or even blue, green, yellow or red. There’s depth in the dark shades and intrigue in the lighter shades.”
“To get the color purple you have to mix multiple colors in just the right way—that’s why purple is complex.”
“Complexity is purple because red and blue are already complex colors, and if you mix them up it becomes an even more complex color.”
Complexity is red because…
“Red is a warm colour, and complexity makes us think until our brains are overheated.”
Complexity is black because…
“When you combine all colors you get black, like when you combine all your complex thoughts.”
“Complexity is black because when you have lots of complex thoughts, they become a scribble scrabble of pen ink in your mind.”
“Because black is not a color. Though neither is white. Complex, right?”
“Complexity is black because it’s hard. You know how your brain is working hard and can be described as having smoke come out of it? Black smoke represents that. That’s just me, though.”
Complexity is orange because…
“Orange is weird and hectic.”
“It represents something that we are unsure of what to do with it, like the color orange. We’re not sure if its a pretty color, or if its just ugly.
”
Complexity is blue because…
“It’s vibrant yet peculiar.”
“Blue comes with a lot of depths and hues. It can be green or purple, warm or cool, a wisp of grey or the infamous and vibrant screen of death. Blue has complex range.”
“It makes me think of that one meme with the guy with the big brain and blue light beams coming out of it.”
Complexity is grey because…
“‘Nothing is black and white.’”
“When people discuss nuanced, unclear or otherwise ‘complicated’ morality, they generally do so in terms of ‘shades of grey.’ Hence, grey is complexity.”
“Complexity makes it unclear. Robots are also gray, and they are complex.”
Complexity is green because…
“Biology is often associated with green, and biology is often very complex.”
“Whenever I work with colors, the most difficult for me to understand is green. Having to navigate the yellow-greens, the blue-greens, the forest greens, and the mint greens is just so complicated, and I didn’t even list all the greens!”
“In biology, we learn just how complicated and intricate life can be. Biology and science is green, so complexity is also green.”
“Humans can see more individual shades of green than any other color.”
Complexity is brown because…
“To acquire brown you need to mix together the entire rainbow, which is a lot more complex than mixing two primary colors to achieve other colors.”
Complexity is yellow because…
“Yellow is bright and bold, which I imagine what complexity is like.”
