Wrong color for haskell

[adius]

The haskell community has obviously settled with purple (check out https://haskell.org, https://haskell-lang.org, https://reddit.com/r/haskell, ...). rgb(94,80,134) to be precise.
At the moment GitHub, however, uses green. This should be changed.

[Alhadis]

We like green. Go away.

Kidding. No, you're right, this should certainly be updated. Though HaskellWiki says DarkBlue, but from the looks of things, I'd say that's outdated.

[Alhadis]

All done! See #3728. If you're very lucky, this might even be included in the about-to-be-shipped release of Linguist (meaning it'll take effect on GitHub very shortly after approval).

[adius]

Nice! I was preparing for a day long argument 😂, but cool to see that decisions can actually be made quickly.
There just one thing to clarify: I just realized that it's actually a gradient between rgb(79, 67, 113) and rgb(110, 93, 157) and not a solid color.
So I'm not sure which color should actually be used...
I guess the brighter one?

[Alhadis]

Hold on, is this based on an official styleguide? You said "rgb(94,80,134) to be precise", which lead me to believe this was being drawn from concrete branding guidelines...

Do you have a link to the official palette perchance?

[adius]

Sorry, I was maybe a little exuberant with my language. I was looking for a style guide, but there is none. The most official it gets ist the official logo used on haskell.org: https://github.com/haskell-infra/hl/blob/master/design/logo.svg
I just erroneously used a color picker instead of checking the source, which didn't work as expected as it had a gradient. 🙈

[Alhadis]

When looking for colour choices, I always start with the logo's palette. =)

It's clear that the colour needs to be changed... heck, even Haskell's boring old logo used purple!

From the colours used in the Haskell site's SVG logo, I'd say #5e5086 (sampled from the centre lambda) is probably the best pick. Which is the same shade as the one you've chosen, so... no change necessary.

... there's also no gradient. :o

there's also no gradient

Now I'm really confused. The link I send you is supposed to be the source code for the haskell.org website. So it should be the same file as the link you posted, but obviously it's not 😳

... oh, I see. They have 2 logos in their source code:

• https://github.com/haskell-infra/hl/tree/master/static/img
• https://github.com/haskell-infra/hl/blob/master/design/logo.svg

and they are slightly different 😭 ... what a fail. I'll open a pull request.

Long story short let's stick with #5e5086 👍

[Alhadis]

I'm colourblind anyway, so everything that's been mentioned so far looks the same shade of purple to, lel.

Unification of logos issue: haskell-infra/hl#215

[Alhadis]

They won't do anything about it.

Haskell is lazy, remember?

(I probably shouldn't review stuff while sleep-deprived, but hey, hopefully we're all having fun here...)

Cool! The theme was my theme, but based on Haskell's much older purple logo anyway.
