If Numbers Were Colors in Web 2.0 - the number 5
Written by jabull on June 7, 2008In my new Web 2.0 series I would like to discuss the close relation between numbers and colors. I know there will be offenses made. So I would like to apologize in advance to those I will offend with my color choices. I would also like to alleviate any concern for the hexadecimal system by stating ahead of time that no colors were hurt during any of my testing.
Today I would like to start with the number 5, Five, cinco… 5 is a blue color. Not blue in the sense of sad, depressed or lonely… that would be more of a navy. I like to think of 5 as more of a blue in terms of corporate colors. Think blue as in Microsoft, IBM and blue ribbons on apple pies at the county fair. Blue as in, “wow her eyes sure light up when I come through the door”.
If you don’t agree with my assessment of the number 5, leave a comment and we can discuss it.

Navy blue is cheery - it’s the haze gray that gets depressing.
