#please don't let me flop it took me 1h to gather all this data lol

Sorry to put maths on your dash this early in the morning, but the polls to make colours are fundamentally biased, because all values should be independent to get the full spectrum. But in a poll, all values are related by the simple relation that a+b+c... = 100%

It means that most colours will not be obtainable from such polls !! Example given in RGB, to get white you would need 100% R, 100% G and 100% B. That is not a result you can get from a valid poll.

In more mathematical terms, if you project your RGB/HSV/whatever space on a cube where values ranges from 0% to 100%, the result set would be restricted to the intersection of this cube with the plane x+y+z=100. It's called Maxwell colour triangle.

On left, Maxwell triangle for a RGB cube. On right, Maxwell triangle on a HSL cube. Plot code based on this website

So here you have it. The result from these polls will inevitably fall in these. cw spoilers I guess

EDIT : the joke about gay being bad at maths was a bit unconsiderate as it vehiculate stereotypical ideas. English is not my first language, and sometimes I would just replicate some things that I read elsewhere, but I should be more cautious. I edited it, but I thought it was important enough to acknowledge

Also edited some sentences a bit for clarity. Oh and also also : this is not inherently a bad thing, and poll makers are generally aware of this. I just want to share a fun fact !
