I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

I never claim to like any single colour.
It always has to be in contrast with something and depends upon the context.
For example in a GUI application, if I am making thin lines on black background, I would go with higher Luminance colours.
If I am making 2 large areas side-by-side, separated by colour, then I am most probably going with a very slight difference in Luminance.
Then it also depends upon the screen. I like amber lines on a black background, but have never seen a satisfactory amber on my LCD display. I have seen CRTs do that better. And the most satisfying amber I have seen is that of a CFL at night, where even the colour of the wall behind it, affected the impression (not a screen, but a lighting fixture), so essentially a gradient.
