       | Why would blue be above the default? That just doesn't make sense
       | without some more information (was blue the default some time
       | ago?)

       | Interesting - where does it say this is by popularity (not
       | doubting, I just didn't see it). And I'm surprised that blue is
       | on top of orange.

       | Edit: playing around, it looks like an exhaustive list of all the
       | colors users have. I found one that wasn't there (ff6501),
       | changed my color to it, and it appeared in the list (somewhere in
       | the middle). Then I changed it to something else, and it
       | disappeared

         | there are a few similar ones

         | it excludes people who have never messed with the bar color at
         | all, so the #2 spot is held by people who either poked around
         | with the color settings and just left it orange or reverted
         | after changing it to something else.

           | Apparently per other comments it's only editable if you have
           | 250+ karma, so maybe it is more common for that group to
           | change their color? Although I'd be surprised most people,
           | even with higher karma, know about that feature. I didn't
           | until today, or at least had forgotten

       | For anyone confused by this, you can apparently only change the
       | "topcolor" if you have 250+ karma. Perhaps I should lurk less...

         | nothing. I guess I gotta work harder.
