Data sourced directly from my toddler's colored pencils. Used with Adobe Illustrator

edit: Thanks for all your comments.

  • For those who commented on the Berlin-Kay color theory/appearance in language, that's super interesting. I love this sub!
  • For the OCD people who feel offended with the poor ordering of the pencils by length: you can take that up with my toddler.
  • Special mention for u/tonybenwhite who took the effort to calculate the colored surface area

Why’d you force your little one to keep using that stump for his favorite color? Just for this post?

Joking. Truly beautiful data.

We tried to replace it, but he threw a tantrum that it wasn't the same.

When we gave it back to him, he started crying that it was short as well.

Rotate the right half 180 degrees and get rid of the left chart.

So, children prefer to use colors… which they can most easily see the result of “their coloring” (aka: intensity or lightness)?

Go figure🍺🤷‍♂️

Hm but what about white and yellow? My toddler always complains when trying one of those that it "doesn't WORK".
