Linux isnβt a colour, itβs a spectrum.
And it changes based on whoβs using it
*insert ham fisted reference to gender nonconforming people using arch here*
someone from blahaj.zone, please make this funny and not offensive. I'd love to but I am too cis.
All of them, itβs a rainbow π
Linux can be all colors in the rainbow (white) or no colors at all (black). Linux is black, white and everything in between.
~~Love~~ Linux sees no color. π§
Color of linux is whatever color scheme you want to use.
Unless you use GNOME. Then your options are grey or black.
I caught trouble the other day for saying this. Apparently there are themes for GNOME (even GTK4) that can mitigate the limited colour palette(s). Locked-in window layout choices are a different matter entirely, of course, but we can do something about the colour of them.

Debian: Don't complain, she calls me Old Ubuntu!
This colors: π³οΈβπ
Mine is black with bright green text. Dunno what you other weirdos are doing
It's color is not on the visible spectrum, but a whole different kind of spectrum.
autism spectrum
So, X-Ray?
It's either pleurigloss (the color of a solider returning from war and seeing their dog for the first time) or hooloovoo (the super intelligent shade of blue).
White on black tty is the common denominator of all Linux distros, I have tried.
Purple like Debian?
You know... Debian:
Debian purple edition
Yes
Blue
So what colour is a car anyway? Black like a car, purple like a car? Blue like a car?
There's a famous Henry Ford quote: "Our customers can get a car in any color they like as long that color is black"
Henry Ford was not into open source development.
How come? π
I don't understand the question...
... Is it like you want an exploration of his psyche?
get a car in any color they like as long that color is blackβ
He couldn't have been into open source development since he died way before the concept was invented
He couldnβt have been into open source development since he died way before the concept was invented
... since before the concept was named and re-named.
The concept was originally the norm, and only needed formalising and naming (and re-naming) after the egregious secrecy of the proprietary model became so suffocating.
why is debian purple? I always imagine it was white/red, which is why everytime I dock at the mothership my eyes get seared.
Black and white 80x25 BIOS text screen with the IBM PC ROM font, not unlike the MS-DOS it sought to replace.
Everything else is fluff on top of that, possibly occupying different graphics planes available in whatever hardware is available.
Yes, technically modern PCs and Linux have moved beyond that 80x25 screen for the most part, but its immediate descendant is still in use, often during boot, but also on Ctrl-Alt-F[1-6] on many distros.
It's whatever the Variety app picked.
Red like Xenia!
IDK. Octarine, probably.
Linux is the color of fnord,
It's whatever color you want
Azure
My lawn, your entire family
I can hear my hair growing
You still have hair?!
Edit: I have hair in my ears, does that count?
Transparency
Orange like Ubuntu.
Linux is green text on a black background
It's white, the sum of all colors (distros).
Black is the lack of light, so no.
Blue like Arch?
#1793d1 pls...
Like, what are the iconic colors of Linux? The equivalent to the MS blue?
Tux's colors I guess. Yellow, black and white.
it's customizable so you can make it any colour you want
mine is black and green (Breeze Black Plasma theme with green accent colour, black-and-green Librewolf theme, green terminal text colour in Konsole)
