So I am sitting here playing solitaire on the Linkin Park website, and the computer LOST THE FOUR OF CLUBS! It literally is missing a card!

There is nowhere it could be hiding! The four of clubs is just not there!

“WHY ARE YOU PLAYING SOLITAIRE ON THE LINKIN PARK WEBSITE?”

Once the results are done, I'll multiply 255 to the decimal version of the percentage, and see what color we make!!

Here's the result!! A nice lookin color, good work everyone!

HOLY FUCK.

I checked. I did the math. I converted it into hexadecimal.

The color hex code is #3b5273.

It's literally Tumblr Blue.

Wait. I just looked at what Xkit calls "old blue".

The hex for that is #36465d. It's darker, but that is to be expected because the poll restricted the possible values to only the color space where the sum of all 3 colors adds up to 255, so that removes a variable. You expect the saturation and value to be different just because of that - the saturation and value are 42% and 36% respectively for Tumblr Blue, while for this color they're 49% and 45%. It's a bit lighter blue, with a tiiiiny bit more saturation.

If you just look at the hue angle, however, that's completely unconstrained.

The hue angle for Tumblr Blue is 215°.

The hue angle for this color is...

215°.

You didn't just make "Tumblr Blue"

You made pretty much as close as this poll could've POSSIBLY GOTTEN to the actual fucking Xkit-defined "Tumblr Blue".

(for the record, if you wanted to truly get Tumblr Blue with this poll, the actual closest you could've gotten would've been 25% red, 32% green, 43% blue)
