The only thing in it was the unsourced "The color is said to be appear in all of Chuck Palahniuk's books. Possibly propagating from this vogue, the default clear-screen color in Microsoft's XNA is cornflower blue." So I took it out. If you have anything sourced, feel free...

Actually, I see I did an earlier removal of unsupported stuff, too: this diff. Dicklyon (talk) 04:04, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They do mention this color several times in the movie Fight Club (an adaptaion of Palahniuk's book)... BoD (talk) 17:06, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Added back the reference in fight club. The source is the book. It's cited in Fight Club, too. Ukuk (talk) 23:40, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Possible removal from list

Entries in List of colors: A–F contained links to this page.

The entries are :

Cornflower
Dark cornflower blue
Light cornflower blue (#93CCEA) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sphilbrick (talk • contribs) 14:54, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any evidence that these colors are discussed in this article and plan to delete them from the list per this discussion: Talk:List_of_colors#New_approach_to_review_of_entries

If someone decides that these colors should have a section in this article and it is added, I would appreciate a ping.--S Philbrick (Talk) 15:54, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Another editor pointed out that the hexcode #93CCEA is associated with the color name "Cornflower" at this site, and with "light cornflower blue" at this site. In neither case is the single word "cornflower" used alone. I hope someone can help sort out which option makes the most sense for this hexcode.--S Philbrick (Talk) 15:32, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
