stack commented on HDFS-5852:
-----------------------------
[~wheat9] Thanks for the input. Not sure how to react. That color is
subjective I 'know' instinctively and this subjectivity is recognized and is at
the root of the original question asked by me out on the mailing list where I
solicit if I am the only one having the reaction that, "these colors seem way
to close to the signature HWX colors". It seemed to me like a pretty basic
question and it shouldn't take color theory making an answer.
While you might ask that we avoid 'political correctness', as you call it, we
do have an obligation to keep our work conflict-free, even though it require
that we operate in areas in which we are inexpert: design or 'branding', to
name two pertinent domains here.
Let me close this issue as LATER. Here is why:
My original question gleaned one direct answer only if I am making a proper
accounting and though the judgement was passed on a low-fidelity copy, a PNG
screen shot, the opinion was similar to what I had posited, that the banner
color is 'darker' (I'll not infer any more than this). My survey out on the
mailing list has been distorted so I do not expect any more opinions to come in
via that channel. Asking the question here a few more times has not elicited
any additional opinions. I'm not in the game of committing patches unless
clean agreement. That is lacking here.
Let me also close this issue because this arena is a minefield whether it is
engineers making design choices (though I like the orange too and counting my
vote, it has 4x+1) but also, this is a minefield in that we do not yet seem up
to talking about the issue in a civil manner.
Finally I'm closing this issue because I don't care that much about the color,
whether or which, not enough to drive further along this contrib. I was just
wondering...
This issue has been good in that the provenance of the chosen color has been
surfaced and can be put under the nose of anyone who might have my reaction in
the future. I also now know who I need to consult when color stumped going
forward.
Thanks all for your contribs here.
