The Color Maize
Since Nike vs. Adidas is a major topic on this blog, especially the shade of maize that each company uses, I decided that I would look into the actual shade of maize and see which company uses the correct shade. In the pictures below, you will see all the shades of yellow (maize is on the far right, second row down).
Maize is a lighter yellow that obviously resembles the color of common corn. In this next picture, you see the shade of maize that each company uses.
In my opinion, Adidas uses the correct shade of maize. Nike uses more of a sunglow, jonquil, or amber shade (when compared to the 1st picture), and adidas' use of a lighter color is closer to the correct shade of maize. Although it isn't perfect, it is closer to the correct shade than Nike's "maize."

Simian denigration. There are way too many people here willing to make fun of chimps and monkeys. What's with monkey rodeo anyway?
Today it's all about raccoons riding alligators. Get with the times, man.
Since Nike patented the color Maize, their color is correct.
No color is new, and that's a requirement for a patent. Next.
More hello posts. Less color analysis.

Some glass company? I dont think a website about glass is a good reference for our shade of maize. And their own graphic says it's only indicative, which I assume they mean just a suggestion of what the color looks like.

Pending. One or more arrests imminent. IBTD.

Jonquil? I am speechless.
I have never wished to be color blind before but this board is certainly making a strong case in its favor.
Great...call the correct color of "maize" blue and copyright it. Take the correct color of "blue" and call it/copyright it as maize. Problem solved.

Having grown up amid Michigan cornfields, I always assumed that "maize" was the color of sweet corn, not the stuff they feed farm animals. Maize has always seemed to me closer to "yellow" or even "light yellow." (Of course, "blue" was supposed to be sky blue and somehow it got to be "lapis lazuli.")
