    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)

    Linux isn’t a colour, it’s a spectrum.

    White on black tty is the common denominator of all Linux distros, I have tried.

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

    Black is the lack of light, so no.

      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.

    why is debian purple? I always imagine it was white/red, which is why everytime I dock at the mothership my eyes get seared.

    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.

    Like, what are the iconic colors of Linux? The equivalent to the MS blue?

    Tux’s colors I guess. Yellow, black and white.
