I am "that person" and am quite disappointed that I can't own a lime green MacBook Air.
I mean, skins exist!

I almost always wear hi-vis orange shirts, and my preferred hoodie is hi-vis yellow (pity it’s not orange, but that’s the one I’ve got and I don’t need another). Good quality, readily available, comfortable, cheap, and I stand out and am memorable in most contexts, which can be useful. Probably blinds people a little in direct sunlight, though no one’s ever mentioned such a thing. Occasionally throws people for a loo…
> I almost always wear hi-vis orange shirts, and my preferred hoodie is hi-vis yellow I have some orange t-shirts that I love, but if I'm going out on a trip to the country to look for wildlife there is no way I'd wear them - I choose muted natural greens and khaki instead (although I don't actually wear camo gear). Also, when I photographing anywhere where I might be partially visible in a window reflection I wear c…

Do you have a place in mind where these things are not common? Like I have friends from Tennessee with colored hair, colored contacts, and like to wear bright "harajuku" style fashion. but sure, I'm positive there's some towns where dressing in bright colors is frowned on. Not sure where that would be. Even Elvis and Roy Rogers wore outlandish clothing.
I'm guessing your Tennessee friends live in a city (or not even in TN at all, since you say they're "from" there). In my experience there is much more conformity in rural areas in the mid-south, especially in middle class spaces. I even notice it if I take a flight from the east coast to Tulsa, Oklahoma. The first flight to a hub like Atlanta has a normal variety of people in a normal variety of dress. Then the secon…

Does most of that wildlife have color perception that would pick out orange? My recollection is that hunters in Colorado would wear blaze-orange vests to reduce the chance of being shot by other hunters; I presumed that this did not make them conspicuous to deer or elk.

Then it's fatter and heavier and I may as well have gotten the 14" Pro. Macs aren't like iPhones that constantly fall out of your pocket and need the extra padding.

If you want to be pedantic, there is no such thing as a "color". There are light waves with a frequency that hit a highly non-linear detector (our eye) and what comes from that is analyzed by your brain to put a label such as "red". What you see is different from what I see (not to mention that I am a daltonist) - and none of these are standardized. We are used to colors and this is why we label them. So "chrome" is…
> I am a daltonist Interesting, I'd never heard this term before. > Red–green color blindness: This form of colorblindness is sometimes referred to as daltonism after John Dalton, who had red-green dichromacy. In some languages, daltonism is still used to describe red-green color blindness. From the search results that popped up, the word "daltonist" seems to be used in Romanian, Serbian, and Bosnian languages.

My current car is bright-yellow. People often ask me whether the color selection was an error, or something went wrong during the order process or whatever. They are really confused and in disbelief when I tell them that no, it was intentional. The advantage (other than me just liking fancier colors and disliking the prevalence of grey in cars) is that I can find my car in even the largest parking lot from very far a…
To choose both a bright color and a luxury make is signaling to people that you want them to notice your fancier than average car. They are responding to this perceived flaunting of wealth.
