Shit Color Values
What Does Shit Mean?
Shit belongs to the yellow family of colors. Yellow is the brightest thing in daylight, which makes it impossible to ignore and easy to overdo. School buses and hazard tape exist to exploit that visibility. In artwork, small amounts of yellow energize a piece; large fields of it tire the eye surprisingly fast. Being on the dark side, Shit adds weight and depth. It suits text, shadows, and grounding elements more than wide-open backgrounds.
In the ISCC-NBS color naming system, Shit is classified as a brown (nearest centroid: light olive brown, #967117). It is also known as Ground Earth.
