I appreciate your curiosity, energy, and empathy being brought to life here. I can't help but wonder what action one can take from this learning? How does this information translate/transfer to a larger movement that brings the collective together for a greater good? Thank you for doing this! Looking forward to more...

Interesting to see this on a bigger sample

I'm not a mathematician, or...engineer? Anyway, upon combination of all possible rbg values there would result an impressively large range of possible collective mood signatures, would they coalesce into anything recognizable...perhaps a meaningful range? Would it be helpful to develop a series of referents? Hi/Lo BDH? 30/30/30 vs 10/50/90. It would feel more intelligible for me if there was a sensemaking strategy when viewing the color dyad.

I arrived too late to the party to answer the questions, but reading the questions, I really struggle with the notion of helping "everyone." There are far too many problems spread around the world for me to imagine I can help "everyone" so the very question pushes me toward despair!

That said, I'm grooving on what you're working towards here. I just wish the original questions would be more specific, I think. Then again, maybe that would skew your original purpose of finding and recording the zeitgeist of our current reality.

I read the post twice, and will probably go for the third time. There's something very curiosity-driving and intuitive in this. I am also looking for a tool or a way to see / replicate the experiment.

I love this! It would be nice to see some mapping of the range of feelings, or something to anchor ourselves to the broader concept. Also, I worry most merges will result in a muddy color. How can we experiment with color mixing so the output color is easily distinguished or relatable? Hopefully something that one easily identifies with

It can be very powerful to visualize things along these lines. I could see something along these lines being used as a sophisticated sort of "status", becoming a tool for inquiry over time with frequency.

On another note, it reminds me of 15five.
