it was a long article.
it pointed out that phrases like 'team of five million' were run through focus groups to check how the message was received.
it pointed out that there was something particular about the shade of yellow and the softening effect of curves and broken lines.
that was the shade of yellow i wanted, by the way. for my stethescope. the only yellow 3m has got going on is lime. fizzy. sour. strange-ness.
yolk yellow. yup.
i went with black. because i couldn't justify paying a price premium on the item.
i paid a price premium on a macbook, however many years ago. to get a black macbook instead of a white macbook. not entirely sure how i justified that... but i did. i think i was very very very opposed to white.
but i can't pay a price premium for not-black. because there is nothing much wrong with black. and the green, while a nice color actually, was called 'hunter' green. if they had have called it 'forest green' instead i might actually have brought it...
maybe they should have focus grouped that.
i guessed burnt orange... but i can't for the life of me find the name of that particular shade of green...
i had a trek bike in that particular shade of green... and i liked it very much.
they don't do that shade on many things, anymore. they make the green to light. lime. hunter. whatever.
