    Like, what are the iconic colors of Linux? The equivalent to the MS blue?

    Tux’s colors I guess. Yellow, black and white.

    Linux isn’t a colour, it’s a spectrum.

      Linux can be all colors in the rainbow (white) or no colors at all (black). Linux is black, white and everything in between.

      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.

    It’s color is not on the visible spectrum, but a whole different kind of spectrum.
