Colours of the Social World

More than 1 Million people used our Themeleon tool to design their Twitter Profile in the past 3 months, which allows us to paint a picture of the world connecting colors to locations and profile data. What colourlovers.com noticed first was that a huge majority of people don't wander that far off from Twitter's default light blue colors... and then theye went digging deeper.

They took the colors from 100,000 profiles designed with Themeleon and geolocated them to the designers location. Although it is a little dark in this compressed video... Each location has a spectrum strip of colors... the more colors from a certain area, the taller the strip. (The US is well defined, Europe and East Asia... although you can see some outlines of other countries too.)
