Flickr's Favorite Color

Do you know what Flickr's favorite color is?

You can probably guess why Favcol.com is displaying that particular color. Simply get your watercolor kit, and mix the colors. You'll end up with something similar to Favcol.

When red photos and blue photos cancel each other out, all that's left is green. But if you mix green with the rest of the canceling colors, all you're left with is...

...the color brown.

So, will the favcol ever significantly change? Probably not.

If you're curious about the internet and the results of averaging preferences, you can try visiting Favcol.com or break open your old watercolor kit.

The marketing lesson? If you try to please everyone, all you'll be left with is mud.
