i've got a fair amount of money i can put to figuring this out. tell me what you need to determine the color values (preferably the underling ones) and i'll do everything i can to help. also note that yaks bend is considered white light. --Honorable Sarah 11:57, 21 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Hmm... I was thinking of using the Photoshop "eyedropper" or the equivalent, but I think writing a program to take a bitmapped image file, average a small area of pixels (i.e. a box covering the dye icon), and spit out the results would give me more accurate data. First step is to get something that works to generate values from screenshots. We should be able to answer the mixing question (commutative vs. associative) quickly enough with that. If that works well, we can then figure out a more complex solution or just generate a lot of values with this one and see if it's possible to do some kind of fitting or whatever on the data. But I think commutativity/associativity is a good first test to see whether the trick will even work.
 * I'm going away for the weekend but will put some effort into this on Sunday. I'll message you in-game so we can figure out the details and logistics once I return. Thanks for your interest! &mdash; 130.58 (talk) 12:28, 21 July 2006 (CDT)

Consider this my rant box for pet peeves.
Okay, seriously, people, I can understand all the userboxes and rounded edges and crap. I can understand making a user page being the first (or sometimes even only) thing some people do on the wiki. But this shit with all the ever-increasingly-larger signature images needs to stop. They're tacky, obfuscate your name, and clutter up pages. Ever notice how the forums with big graphical user signature are always the ones with no actual reasoned discourse on them? &mdash; 130.58 (talk) 21:25, 23 July 2006 (CDT)
