I saw this on the front page of the forum just now, thought it was neat. The user icons made a rainbow. And it wasn’t just generic icons, it was a mix of generic and custom.

Neat, but the nitpicker in me doesn’t see the red in that rainbow though. That “N” is more orange than red.
I guess this thread can be used as a compendium for people to put other images of the front page that more closely approximate the traditional ROYGBIV structure.

The N is orange, the P is red.

Eh, calling the P red is a bit of a stretch. Looks more brownish-red to me. The closest real-world analogue I could find is a crayon with the name [Rose Dust](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Crayola_crayon_colors#Silver_Swirls), hex code #9E5E6F.

It’s an intriguing concept and a damn fine try. Well done, Zip!
