@kkremitzki@mastodon.social They've got the classic debian swirl color, but I don't know of anything else. Of course, #Debian doesn't actually theme anything, a decision I can definitely respect. Still, there's the debian-themed boot screens which are vaguely... bluish? Funny aside, the original debian swirl logo (and the genie's lamp, a variant that isn't seen often) was created in Adobe Illustrator in the late 90s, using pretty default settings of one of AI's tools. I don't remember where, but I read a write-up on that recently. It's ironic that a FOSS OS's logo was created with such a proprietary tool, but this would've been in the 90s, and Inkscape wasn't quite a thing yet.

@kkremitzki@mastodon.social Maybe Debian should have an official color palette, but Ubuntu is a terrible example, because it uses unusual colors and everything else clashes with it.
