| You may have noticed that PurpleMassGroup is not purple, it is green! That's because the responsible democrats and republicans who this blog is intended to serve desire "green" public policies and lifestyles, and the green color scheme helps remind us of our goals and our responsibilities. Besides, purple would have been really really ugly, and it's a sort of frivolous color. So we're green, literally.
Update: On the advice of Brock at RMG, I'm trying out this deep Tyrian purple. He says PurpleMassGroup should be purple, and if this color was good enough for Roman Emperors and early Christian art, it should fit a blog dedicated to respect for government authority and morality. I'm still not sure its a good idea, but at least on a blog it's just a number (Hex: #66023C), it's not derived from snails like the real Tyrian Purple dye was.
Update: Patrick had a good idea to try blue on the left, red on the right, and maybe purple in the middle, to convey the bi-partisan mission. I like this, it looks like the French flag and also like a pair of pants I had in 1976. Update to this update: Patrick actually suggested red on the left and blue on the right, I think to signify the meeting in the middle between conservative Democrats in the right of their party and responsible Republicans in the left of their party. So now it's not like the French flag anymore, as far as I can tell, Red White Blue vertical stripes aren't any country's flag, they're just "red, white, and blue." |
