This is for discussing silly colorology and is very much not a Consumerium R&D issue. The contents of this page originated from several articles named after colors.

==Reds==
'''Reds''' refer to anti-capitalists, specifically communists, who adopted this as their signal colour long ago.  It stands for the blood shed by workers in the wage slavery system, and by soldiers in the wars started by capitalists for their own profit (yeah ok don't blame me I'm just the [[troll]]).  They tend to really dislike workplace practices that exploit people like [[prison labour]] or [[child labour]] or [[slavery]], although they see these as part of capitalism.  They often focus on specific individual media barons or corporate figures as 'the worst problem' at any point in time, and distrust even [[Greens]] and [[Pinks]] in many cases.

[[Natural Capitalism]], the [[Green Patent License]] and [[Consumerium Prediction Market]] are three good examples of working within Blue frameworks to do rather radical things.

==Pinks==
'''Pinks''' refer to people who define themselves by sexuality:  feminists, gays, lesbians, self-defined "queers", and others primarily concerned with social acceptance for everybody.  They tend to really dislike gender-based or sexuality-based discrimination and refuse to buy from those who practice it.
There will likely be a [[faction]] of Pinks in the [[Consumerium social club]] and they very likely will insist on some [[factionally defined]] terms or some [[standard label]]s for products produced with no gender or sex discrimination.
