Hi!
Many network devices have LEDs with green and orange color, instead of
green and yellow.
Is it likely that we see device having both yellow and orange LEDs?
Why should we?
This question actually refers to the below sentence...
I'd simply lie and say those LEDs are yellow...
So, why do you think we should strive to limit the number
of color definitions?
Because there's infinitely many colors :-). And programmers are bad at
differentiating them. You can't really tell wavelength of light by
looking at it.
I mean.. yes, maybe we can add orange, pink, green-blue, violet,
... white at different temperatures ...
It will be rather long list.
I think that we should allow setting the LED color name after
what manufacturer claims it is.
Well, someone can try to compile list of common colors, and convince
me that this list is good enough...
...but really, unless there's device where there are leds of
yellow/orange color... it may be easier to keep the current list.
Marek indicated in his response to me that
2. many technical people know the names of at most 12 different colors,
amber is not among them
So maybe he can put the list together.
