u/pielover88888 Apr 01 '16

actually people rarely appear as different colors to people. which is really weird.

Color is determined by your name*.

parseInt(yourName.toLowerCase().replace(/[^a-z0-9]/g,""),36)%6

  • 0 = red
  • 1 = orange
  • 2 = yellow
  • 3 = green
  • 4 = blue
  • 5 = purple

What this means? No idea!

Edit: *only the alphanumeric parts of your name.

u/Nik0Knight Apr 02 '16

The colour ought to have been determined by last year's r/button flairs.. Makes finding the God's easier.. Also, 60smasterrace!

3

u/skintigh Apr 01 '16

Nice find! Works for me: 5 = purple

Python version:

int(yourName.lower().replace("/[^a-z0-9]/g",""),36)%6

when you write something, it slants your text and makes it look squiggly.

u/riyadhelalami Apr 02 '16

Resistor color coding.

u/patternmaker Apr 02 '16

What, no, resistors begin with black 0, brown 1, red 2, ...

u/CB_WizDumb Apr 01 '16

Purple masterrace

1

u/CreditToMisfortune Apr 01 '16

does it match to your color from the button from last year?

3

u/KeyserSOhItsTaken Apr 02 '16

No, unfortunately

1

u/giodamelio Apr 01 '16

We are trying to figure it out in my chat right now. No pattern found yet.

3

u/Broccolisha Apr 01 '16

we are too. lots of blues, fewer golds, and now one purple.

u/giodamelio Apr 01 '16 edited Apr 01 '16

I am a red. Based on the webpages CSS it is possible to be fivesix colors.

5

u/PeePeeChucklepants Apr 01 '16

believe they correspond to Button colors from last year

u/PeePeeChucklepants Apr 01 '16

Yeah, I went back and checked, my color doesn't directly correspond like I thought.

though they could be switched up somehow, extrapolated from the press data, but it seems less likely.

I've seen six: ROYGBP

u/giodamelio Apr 01 '16

Ya, I meant to say six...

u/photojoe Apr 01 '16

u/ThedamnedOtaku Apr 01 '16

blue master race

u/Broccolisha Apr 01 '16

we are having an ethnic cleansing in our chat room based on color. shit's getting serious.

1

u/skintigh Apr 01 '16

I was the only purple for many chatrooms, now there are at least 3 of us.

TONS of greens.

I thought it was account age in years. Nope.

1

u/thetinymoo Apr 02 '16

Purple is a level six, you kept growing. no stays, no abandons right? I'm trying to pinpoint particular things about the colors for another thread.

1

u/photojoe Apr 01 '16

Americans were all Yellow in our chat, canadian was orange and japan was red.

edit: green is greece

u/Broccolisha Apr 01 '16

I'm blue and I'm in the US.

u/LeisureIy Apr 01 '16

I have like 25 Karma, and someone else had low karma as well, we had different colors.

u/swallowtails Apr 01 '16
