    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).

      Linux can be all colors in the rainbow (white) or no colors at all (black). Linux is black, white and everything in between.

      Unless you use GNOME. Then your options are grey or black.

        I caught trouble the other day for saying this. Apparently there are themes for GNOME (even GTK4) that can mitigate the limited colour palette(s). Locked-in window layout choices are a different matter entirely, of course, but we can do something about the colour of them.

    It’s color is not on the visible spectrum, but a whole different kind of spectrum.

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

    Black is the lack of light, so no.

    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.
