FAQ

These questions are sourced from the sentiment and actual statements from people on the Hacker News thread.

Origin

Where did these colors come from?

High-level: looked at the Wikipedia page for Crayola colors, selected my favorites, put a filter over them in Affinity Designer, made more edits (have to research my notes to figure out details), and eventually landed at these color stops.

It took a long time to settle on yellow/orange because I've never been able to get a good yellow I was happy with, specifically.

Normal colors

Where's the HEX codes?

The point of this palette is to move away from HEX codes. If you need/want them in your own projects, feel free to fork.

Dark Mode

This site doesn't respect my dark mode preference so I left!

It's not about "respect," I never implemented a dark mode.

A well thought out palette would have all the things

The name

Why the name uchū?

"uchū" means "universe" in Japanese. I use this theme for all of my projects so...universal.

I can't speak to anything else but personally, I love Japan style/aesthetic/whatever so I'm gonna use a word if it fits.

As a non-Japanese person, I think that YOU shouldn't just pick Japanese words for your project

...okay

ACKHTUALLY it doesn't mean "universe," it's closer to "space"

My apologies for not being fluent in the Japanese language.

I didn't look deeper than WordHippo for translation.

Typical American, taking things that don't belong to you. Get bent.

(I never responded to this and this person deleted their comments twice to get even nastier)

Virality

Why is a page full of color codes on the front page?

Beats me, I just wanted to share something cool I made.

These colors aren't even good

...okay?

If you present something to Hacker News, it better be professional and this is subpar. I don't even know what uchū means.

My bad?

The tagline

This title is clickbait! It annoys me!!

I don't understand...

You don't know how words work!!

You got it man.

You have failed to show the relationship between "the internet" and "love." In what sense is this theme for internet lovers?!

😳

EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THIS THEME IS FOR SELF-PROFESSED INTERNET LOVERS

It's not that deep bro
