● Colour Theory

202 2026-07-24 note

Gruvbox's rainbow accent set doubles as the symbol taxonomy's colour legend, see ValuesThe first entry. This site exists for gitminder as the daily-commit driver for two Beeminder goals, and it leans on wiki-links ,like colour-theory to connect ideas as they accumulate, in the tradition of a digital garden more than a blog.[^1]… for the entry that started this.

One per entry typeI'm using single-character symbols, one per type as a quick visual cue: | type | symbol | example | | -------- | ------ | ------------------------ | | quote | > | on-writing-daily | | bookmark | ⚹ | eleventy-interlinker |…: red for quotes, yellow for bookmarks, green for notes, blue for diary entries, purple for snippets, and the muted gray reserved for stubs like Bearminder. Light and dark mode swap the whole palette via prefers-color-scheme, so nothing in the footnote CSSThe trick behind the footnotes on this site and the hover previews in notes like colour-theory is the same adjacent-hover pattern, just with different content in the hidden span. It's AetherAnne's pattern for footnotes without JavaScript, wired through markdown-it's renderer… needs a manual override. Everything reads off --fg / --bg / --panel / --border.
