I once saw a website that was very interesting -- it was about
evolutionary color pairs. Basically, users came through and looked at
a few pairs of colors, each a minor variation on the others, and
clicked which one they liked most. The site took this into account,
along with the clicks of thousands of other people, and evolved the
most popular color pairs that exist (on computers). I have been
searching Goolge, but I can't find this site anywhere. I know I wasn't
dreaming. I think I saw it mentioned on a blog somewhere (something
like stopdesign, a list apart, etc). Where is it?

Request for Question Clarification by larre-ga on 01 Oct 2004 12:33 PDT

Could it be the Visibone Survey? 1999 or so. Seems only the
results/summary page is available at this time, rather than the
original survey:

No, it definitely was not. I saw this within the last 8 months, and it
seemed to be an ongoing project. I can't remember many more details,
except I believe the site had a black background (which may help
narrow possibilities).

Indeed this is the site. Good stuff.

Also, I kind of want to ask some mathematician somewhere what the odds
of you finding this particular question were. Crazy.

That was actually pure coincidence. Was looking for an answer and
happend to read your question... I Can tell you I was surprised...
Very funny...
