The Spectrum of Rock
Mutatoes is a collection of non-standard fruits, roots and vegetables, displaying a dazzling variety of forms, colours and textures, that only reveal themselves when lawfully enforced standards cease to exist.

This is not a true Venn, but a meta-diagram inspired by a photo of a color-wheel constructed from colored pancake batter which just happens to look like a Venn diagram. If I was insane enough to want to try to prepare a 7 set Venn diagram, I’m sure that ‘X is the new black’ would be somewhere at the center.
These are the top 100 web brands—from computer companies to search engines to social web sites to porn sites—ordered by color. Apparently, the “top brands within categories tend to use similar color palettes.”

![“By a strange coincidence, the same night I first made the color survey public, the webcomic Doghouse Diaries put up this comic. (see previous chart)
It was funny, but I realized I could test whether it was accurate. […] After the survey closed, I generated a version of the Doghouse Diaries comic with actual data, using the most frequent color name for the handful of colors in the survey closest to the ones in the comic.”

Luke from Western Australia again. Seeing my last submission up on the blog was so exciting I had to stand up from my chair, and then sit down again. So here’s another one, which is actually a rebuttal to the latest chart.
I know it’s supposed to be some good ol’ ‘funny because it’s true’ humour,
and I respect that,
but I didn’t laugh,
because it’s not funny,
because it’s not true.
I guess I’m just spoiled by things that are funny because they’re actually true, and like, no-ones ever pointed it out before, like any 5 seconds of an episode of 30 rock, or a family guy cut-away gag.
I call it “overly-specific observational humour”.
We need to categorize our pop culture (read: everything else as well) a lot better than we’re doin’ people!
