That is partially explained here: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianLogo#The_red_color "HEX - #d70a53 - conversion by Gimp (a color which by the way seems to be called "Debian Red" officially, see e.g. this page)" I also seem to remember Debian merchandise produced by Debian folks favouring this colour over the other Debian red colours. > Side note: wasn't using our name in the code name of some other software > product a dilution of our trademark? IANAL, but I suspect that it is. It wasn't used as the code name of the software, but the name of the theme based on the 'Debian Red' colour. Journalists were mistaken. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
