The actual reason is space-flight aesthetics, right?
Space stuff itself being white for insulation purposes.I think the actual reason is that it looks scifi and sick.

Real working robots are usually yellow or orange. KUKA may be the reason for this as it seems to be their brand color as well.
ABB robots that I’ve seen have all been orange too, but on their website it’s funny because they promote white ones, but I. The background they’re all orange.

And making them danger colored is important too. Since soft squish humans need to keep clear of them.
Wait… KUKA?!
(That’s means cunt in some Spanish speaking countries.)
Yup, but it’s a German company.
I know.
Absurd, you didn’t even read the meme. Space stuff is white because space is racist.
*spacist
Space can’t be racist, space is black.
That’s why NASA are trying to colonize it
Oh hardly, by the word of Star Trek TOS space is full of generally humanoid and conventionally attractive beings, often green or blue in color.
White stuff in a dark space makes it easier to spot when shined upon. And outer space is a pretty fucking dark place.
I’d use neon lime instead or glow in the dark coating, but it’s expensive or annoying to the eye.
That is only a side effect. It’s white (or metallic) to reflect as much radiation from the sun as possible, to prevent overheating.
I’d think that light colours make it easier to see if plastic panels have cracked or there’s leaks in hydraullics or scorched spots.
Silence, you racist
Robots should be red for strength, green for agility, and blue for precision.
imma paint me mekk purple cuz ent nobody seen a purple mekk
I like how the yellow one seems to be the only one running. Red almost looks like it’s ice skating while moving its arms around.
Paint those fuckers orange, so that they’re visible at all times.
(Except in a Dutch football match.)
Let us get out the Paint bucket!
yellow for speed of course
It’s popular to make robots white because it shows scuffs, falls, and damage more easily. Which helps developers figure out how they fall or where they scuff from mistaken actions.
Nooo! It’s gotta be racism. Because everything is racist.
My phone is black. That’s definitely racism. Somehow.
Sign my petition to make all robots neon colored.
I could get behind bringing this whole look back for them
Oh I forgot that I had a PlayStation like that. I traded the normal PlayStation plus a shiny Gyarados pokemon card for it.
Oh, I see, you want to own robots…of color?
I think they should be beige and make it retro
Put a strip of fake wood on it like those old wagons.
This comment is LGR approved.
Or alternatively technology connections
Or 80s-Braun-appliances hues, that would be so cool.
Is that really ken bone?

I have never met a human the color of that robot. Not even albino folks are that color.
Not even albino folks are that color.
Spatter it with some orange freckles and I could show you a few Irish folks that shade.
CNN has always loved ragebait.
Not always. But yeah, they SUCK nowadays.
They’ll hit publish on any brain fart and pat themselves on the back for being oh-so-clever. And now with a persistent pressure towards a right-wing slant.
And if it was something like fox news, oann, newsmaxx, daily wire, or national desk…they’d say the robotics industry is becoming too woke when a white robot is painted a different color
It’s not that difficult. White robots are good, black robots are evil.
Nobody has ever been saved from a fire by a black robot with red eyes. Checkmate!
Uno reverse checkmate.
Built by the Florida state government after their state was the only one that failed to secure a native superhero (Florida man’s career was a brief yet spectacular failure resulting in 281.5 fatalities) robo mothman is an unfortunate example of design by committee. Though stated to be an easy going and great guy by people who know him personally, his career has been mired by multiple incidents of injuries caused by people fleeing from him in terror and inadvertantly running into hazards.
Robo mothmans psychologist has stated that he is coming to terms with the realities of his apperance and the association of heros and super
menpeople has issued a formal request to the league of supervillains to stop soliciting his joining of their organisation on the basis of harassment and emotional abuse.Someone only half-died?
A good noodle incident should leave open just enough questions that the reader comes to a conclusion far more absurd/interesting than anything the writer could come up with by themselves.
I should get AI to make an image of Darth Vader building homes for the homeless while teaching struggling kids craftsmanship, then I should post it with the title “How could the Empire do wrong with great guys like old Vader at the helm?”
You really should, I want to see it.
Ragebait never fails to work.
How many replies, likes and retweets does the average CNN Twitter post have? I bet this one has more.
Also this screenshot is from 2019 and the crux of the article is:
The robots used in the study are clearly robots but have human-like limbs and a head, with exterior complexions that are white – which is to say, pinkish – or black – really, a deep brown.
Now I want a robot in glorious GameCube purple.
N64 translucent green.
Give me that spice orange dawg
Shit, and here I was thinking I like white robots because white is my second favorite color. Damn, that makes me racist, doesn’t it?
Yes. White should be your least favorite color, not second most.
This but unironically. Its a bitch to keep clean and exhausts my eyes to look at for long periods of time.
In bright light, I prefer black letters on white background and white letters on black background in the dark. I find it easier on my eyes that way.
ermagerd, are you telling me that if I add a website to “Favorites,” they all disappear and get replaced?!?!?!
Yes. Any website not favored is erased from browser history.
Show no bias! Favor all or favor none!
I’m referring to the previously favorited sites, but okay…
White isn’t even a color
Let’s not be pedantic. White is a color.
Yeah, yeah, white is composed of all wavelengths, just like green is composed of the yellow wavelength and the blue wavelength.
green is composed of the yellow wavelength and the blue wavelength
- You are confusing wavelengths and photoreceptors. All the colors in the rainbow have a wavelength - both yellow and green. There are colors, like pink, that don’t have their own wavelength - and white is one of these colors.
- Between green and yellow, yellow is the one who doesn’t have its own photoreceptor in the human eye and thus the yellow we see is actually composed of red and green.
- The
yellow + blue = greenthing is a concept of subtractive colors - which means the formula is actuallywhite - yellow - blue = green.
Thanks.
Green has its own wavelength, 500–565nm. It’s pink that doesn’t have one and is a mix between violet and red wavelengths.
Today I learned about the composition of pink. Thanks.
i mean you’re technically almost correct, pink doesn’t have a wavelength because it’s just white with a bit more red in it.
You’re thinking of magenta, which is equal parts BLUE and red, violet is another word for purple which is also red and blue but darker and more on the blue side.
Violet is not purple since violet is a spectral color and has its own wavelength. While purple is a secondary color. If violet was also a secondary color made from blue and red you wouldn’t see it in a rainbow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_color
“In the RGB color model used in computer and television screens, violet is produced by mixing red and blue light, with more blue than red.”
“Violet is closely associated with purple. In optics, violet is a spectral color (referring to the color of different single wavelengths of light), whereas purple is the color of various combinations of red and blue (or violet) light,[5][6] some of which humans perceive as similar to violet. In common usage, both terms are used to refer to a variety of colors between blue and red in hue.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violet_(color)Okay violet is purple in common usage. I was talking in scientific terms since I was talking about wavelengths and spectral colors. You just pointed out the same thing I said that violet is a spectral color and has its own wavelength and is different from the secondary color purple. Violet is only purple in every day speech, not when you talk about the science of electromagnetic waves. And trying to disproof my point with RGB colors is just dumb, since we were obviously not talking about artificial light. Yes you can mimic violet with red and blue but that doesn’t disproof that violet has its own wavelength.
Clear is my favorite color
Imagine still thinking that colors exist lol, what a loser
Are you for real
Polished chrome or go home!

So does CNN just push all the bullshit now?
They were supposed to be moderately respectable but this is a mad article. It’s not even the first time this comment is being made and every single time it’s pointed out how stupid it is
I was hoping for hot pink. Guess I’m a misogynist meow.
