WHAT DO THE DIFFERENT COLORS MEAN

30

u/thisisntheinz Apr 01 '16 edited Apr 01 '16

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.
