Sure , you require to know what everyone ’s favorite colour is , but you know whatever the reply was dramatically revealed to be , you ’d make this noise : “ oh ” . You ’d shrug and get on with your life history . You would n’t be particularly enlightened .
The Earth will continue to orbit the Sun . The President will continue to Tweet nonsense . Somewhere , a CT will meow , and a dog will bark at it . Paint will dry out , and sess will develop . That InspiroBot will persist in to moil out nefarious andsinister quoteswith inappropriate background range of a function .
So , here we go . Prepare to be disappointed .
The universe ’s favourite color , ladies and gentlemen , is Marrs Green . It ’s a blue - green ghost that ’s reminiscent of shallow aquatic environments . It ’s fairly innocuous and serene . It ’s named after Annie Marrs , a UNESCO worker and fine arts graduate from Dundee in Scotland who conjured up the hue to compliment the pure tone of the River Tay .
It ’s inarguably quite a nice color . Most commentator come along to see it as more gullible than blasphemous , but sound out it ’s blue is not deemed to be incorrect by color experts . One such professionalexplainedthat it is almost a " cyan colour , " and perhaps more " aqua " than others were suggesting .
The competition was instigated by a shadowy organization working behind the tantrum at Hull , a metropolis in England that ’s also the UK City of Culture in 2017 . A while back , surfer of the WWW could search a website with a close - infinite number of colour palettes and pick the one they considered to be the most aesthetically pleasing .
In entire , around 30,000 people across 100 land take part , and most of them voted for Marrs Green – or at least , that was the “ ordinary ” color that most multitude ’s choices orb around . The final result was , rather gratifyingly , announced by Hull 2017 Chief Executive Martin Green – no recounting .
The color ’s primogenitor told theTelegraphthat “ it ’s an rank exclusive right to have a color named after me . It ’s been a phantasmagorical experience but a very special one and quite overwhelming at multiplication . ”
Miss Marrs says that she has always had a preference for drear / light-green / teal colours , so this new shade is definitely sitting somewhere in that spectrum . It ’s precisely position , however , is anyone ’s guess at this percentage point .
So , there you go . How do you sense ? clear ? Has everything you believe you knew been thrown into doubt ?
