Tales From The Internet – Tumblr Learns Colour Theory
The Internet is prime for arguments about things that some would consider incredibly stupid. Simple things like “how many days in a week” or “what colour is that dress” get bickered about over several social medias. However, Tumblr – as they do – decided to make things weird.
Picture a children’s hospital with a red, squiggly line on the floor. What does this look like to you? According to some parts of Tumblr in 2019, this was a good thing as the colour red had multiple positive properties. You know. Because of colour theory. On this week’s Tales From The Internet, Siobhan and Max discuss what caused Tumblr’s obsession with colour theory, and why a red squiggly line on a white floor is a bad image no matter what academia says.
