    it’s customizable so you can make it any colour you want

    mine is black and green (Breeze Black Plasma theme with green accent colour, black-and-green Librewolf theme, green terminal text colour in Konsole)

    It’s either pleurigloss (the color of a solider returning from war and seeing their dog for the first time) or hooloovoo (the super intelligent shade of blue).

    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.

    It’s white, the sum of all colors (distros).

    Black is the lack of light, so no.

    White on black tty is the common denominator of all Linux distros, I have tried.

    Black and white 80x25 BIOS text screen with the IBM PC ROM font, not unlike the MS-DOS it sought to replace.

    Everything else is fluff on top of that, possibly occupying different graphics planes available in whatever hardware is available.

    Yes, technically modern PCs and Linux have moved beyond that 80x25 screen for the most part, but its immediate descendant is still in use, often during boot, but also on Ctrl-Alt-F[1-6] on many distros.

      There’s a famous Henry Ford quote: “Our customers can get a car in any color they like as long that color is black”

              get a car in any color they like as long that color is black”

              He couldn’t have been into open source development since he died way before the concept was invented

                He couldn’t have been into open source development since he died way before the concept was invented

                … since before the concept was named and re-named.

                The concept was originally the norm, and only needed formalising and naming (and re-naming) after the egregious secrecy of the proprietary model became so suffocating.
