+# FAQ
+
+These questions are sourced from the sentiment and actual statements from people on the [Hacker News thread](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43072338).
+
+
+
+## Origin
+
+> Where did these colors come from?
+
+High-level: looked at the Wikipedia page for Crayola colors, selected my favorites, put a filter over them in Affinity Designer, made more edits (have to research my notes to figure out details), and eventually landed at these color stops.
+
+It took a long time to settle on yellow/orange because I've never been able to get a good yellow I was happy with, specifically.
+
+
+
+## Normal colors
+
+> Where's the HEX codes?
+
+The point of this palette is to move away from HEX codes. If you need/want them in your own projects, feel free to fork.
+
+
+
+## Dark Mode
+
+> This site doesn't respect my dark mode preference so I left!
+
+It's not about "respect," I never implemented a dark mode.
+
+> A well thought out palette would have all the things
+
+👍🏾
+
+
+
+## The name
+
+> Why the name uchū?
+
+"uchū" means "universe" in Japanese. I use this theme for all of my projects so...universal.
+
+I can't speak to anything else but personally, I love Japan style/aesthetic/whatever so I'm gonna use a word if it fits.
+
+> As a non-Japanese person, **I** think that **YOU** shouldn't just pick Japanese words for your project
+
+...okay
+
+> ACKHTUALLY it doesn't mean "universe," it's closer to "space"
+
+My apologies for not being fluent in the Japanese language.
+
+I didn't look deeper than [WordHippo](https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/the/japanese-word-for-244fb75b19415c9ee4f143b34b4b241236fb63f5.html) for translation.
+
+> Typical American, taking things that don't belong to you. Get bent.
+
+(I never responded to this and this person deleted their comments twice to get even nastier)
+
+
+
+## Virality
+
+> Why is a page full of color codes on the front page?
+
+Beats me, I just wanted to share something cool I made.
+
+> These colors aren't even good
+
+...okay?
+
+> If you present something to Hacker News, it better be professional and this is subpar. I don't even know what uchū means.
+
+My bad?
+
+
+
+## The tagline
+
+> This title is clickbait! It annoys me!!
+
+I don't understand...
+
+> You don't know how words work!!
+
+You got it man.
+
+> You have failed to show the relationship between "the internet" and "love." In what sense is this theme for internet lovers?!
+
+😳
+
+> EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THIS THEME IS FOR SELF-PROFESSED INTERNET LOVERS
+
+It's not that deep bro
