Notes:
gollark: Also, those aren't really *colors*.
gollark: That list is weirdly ordered. Mostly the cobalt and titanium.
gollark: It does look nice. I'm probably just oversensitive to these things.
gollark: Yep!
gollark: Also, I find it kind of ironic that a minimalist (well, design-wise) website ends up taking about 5 seconds to load fully, and according to my browser devtools pulls down 6MB of fonts, images, scripts and whatever else. Which is... unfortunately pretty much the standard with the internet now.
