Linux isn’t a colour, it’s a spectrum.
And it changes based on who’s using it

someone from blahaj.zone, please make this funny and not offensive. I’d love to but I am too cis.

Debian: Don’t complain, she calls me Old Ubuntu!
All of them, it’s a rainbow 🌈
Linux can be all colors in the rainbow (white) or no colors at all (black). Linux is black, white and everything in between.
This colors: 🏳️🌈
Ah! A man of culture.
White on black tty is the common denominator of all Linux distros, I have tried.
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? 😂
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 black”
He couldn’t have been into open source development since he died way before the concept was invented
He couldn’t 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.
Purple like Debian?
You know… Debian:
Debian purple edition
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.
Yes
Red like Xenia!
Transparency
Mine is black with bright green text. Dunno what you other weirdos are doing
Like, what are the iconic colors of Linux? The equivalent to the MS blue?
Tux’s colors I guess. Yellow, black and white.
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.
IDK. Octarine, probably.
