Give a color on PlantUML for github/linguist

[The-Lum]

Hello PlantUML team, and all PlantUML fans,

To propose a color on github-linguist/linguist#5003, here is a [non-existential] question:

• What is the color of PlantUML? (or what would be the color of the PlantUML language?)

All proposals are welcome...

---

Hints :
One of the colors of the PlantUML logo:

• #991039 of the U
• #ffba39 of the M
• #16003a of the L

Compare to the color of UML logo:

• #962444 of the U
• #fbbd16 of the M
• #452e7f of the L

Interesting question !

I vote for #fbbd16 but anyone can give its own choice :-)

[The-Lum]

If we choose this color: #fbbd16
Then, it is necessary or not to re-color the PlantUML color with the real color of UML (from UML logo) ?

• #962444 of the U
• #fbbd16 of the M
• #452e7f of the L

I will also ask the initial question on PlantUML Forum, on QA-14298.

To be honest, I don't think the colors are different enough to warrant the extra work of changing the logo, if it is non-trival.

Both colors are less than 2%¹ apart, which means the difference will not be noticable for most users and/or usecases²

Ok, thanks.

• Do you agree on the color #fbbd16?

Then I can prepare a PR to github/linguist...

That is in operation on Github, see this example:
