in reply to What is the Perl Color?

All the O'Reilly books are blue...not an 'official color' that I am aware of, but you could start with that and see if it fits your design scheme.

    Nice shot, but older Perl books from O'Reilly was pink... I'm looking for something that really identifies Perl.

      I haven't been around this long enough to have seen the pink ones...all my mySQL books are that color.

      I just have a shelf full of blue and thought of that first.

      Yes, but pink was the colour of the previous version of Perl.

      Who knows what the next version will be coloured? Perhaps green?

      Shouldn't someone start a poll on that?

    Perl should have its own color, independent of O'Reilly, I've seen it discussed before that even the camel shouldnt necessarily be the "official mascot" of Perl, I mean, why should we have to get permission to use our own mascot...maybe its time for a clean start..this might actually be a good poll or discussion, find out what the perl community thinks is an appropriate mascot and official color

    Hopefully there will be a witty sig here at some point

      Oh, man, may the gods forgive you for such a heretic suggestion.

      The Perl Camel is part of the Hacker Culture, as stated at the Jargon Files. I think no one would even consider exchanging the Camel for another mascot...

    I always saw perl as a lighter blue, between sky blue and powder blue.

    Most of them are blue, but I can think of a couple that aren't: the O'Reilly CGI book is green, as was Clinton Wong's older book Web client programming with Perl. Maybe because green is the O'Reilly colour for their HTML/CSS/JavaScript/etc books and someone thought they "fitted" better in that category?
