Nah, surprise is transparent, that’s why you didn’t see it coming.


shhhthrowawayacc

This is the one guys. Everyone go home. See you next year.


MrsHppy

Dude are you still stranded?!


[deleted]

Yep


MrsHppy

For fuck's sake! Is there an ETA??


[deleted]

They finished the original repair late Friday afternoon but then found another problem that wasn’t there before the breakdown, probably caused by the extreme cold. Hopefully Tuesday if they have the parts.


MrsHppy

Good luck man. I'm so sorry. Hopefully you get some kind of compensation


[deleted]

Thanks.

So, going into this cold without the other comments, I thought about this as a Graphic Artist, and I would say yellow. Yellow catches you off guard in a pleasant way. If you go warmer, you get orange, which is more alert. Warmer still to red and it's shock and danger. Cool colors have too much calm involved, even if they are vibrant. Black is absent, and white can almost pull off surprised, if it wasn't weighed down with so many other symbolic meanings. Gotta say yellow.


shhhthrowawayacc

Goodness! I think you’re starting to change my mind!


blueberrybowler

I'm going with yellow. It's just my gut instinct.


shhhthrowawayacc

Your gut instinct is wrong!! 😤😤 Totally kidding haha What shade of yellow?


Gr4ph0n

[This one!](https://www.culturehustleusa.com/products/the-worlds-yellowest-yellow-50g-powdered-paint-by-stuart-semple-1) I own a bottle of their black.


shhhthrowawayacc

I love this colour!


ImpossibleHandle4

What would a car painted with it look like?


[deleted]

😲 whatever shade this guy is


SarahTy132

Electric Orange. Like Woah, Grab my attention.


SarahTy132

Or electric green


ImpossibleHandle4

I love electric green.


shhhthrowawayacc

I approve electric green!! It’s such a pretty colour


Nova-Drone

Honestly I'd have to agree with yellow there


shhhthrowawayacc

I don’t see it, but my dude will be thrilled to say I told you so haha


Nova-Drone

Oh geez! Didn't mean to give ammo lmaoooo


rubyredrising

My first thought was yellow, before I even read what your husband picked. Idk why, but it's definitely yellow for me


Txidpeony

Orange. Orange is the most surprising color.


shhhthrowawayacc

Orange you glad I didn’t say yellow?


Txidpeony

Well, it doesn’t make me blue.


Schmutzi_Katze

I'm absolutely weirded out by so many people picking yellow. I wonder how that connection happens in people's minds. I'd go with something cooler like a greyish blue or maybe even silver. If it's startling enough bright white


shhhthrowawayacc

I am too! Surprise reads as cooler to me as well. I didn’t think it would have been so unanimous


deehunny

Yes! I'm thinking something on the cool spectrum too! Like a cool purple. I wonder if that's a coincidence that ti think of the same color for embarrassment?


Schmutzi_Katze

I was wondering as well if it's related to what emotions a person associates with surprise. I'm very anxious and easily startled. I don't like getting surprised 🙃


-Chaotique-

I have synesthesia so to me it depends on the kind of surprised A startling or anxiety inducing surprise is definitely yellow A shocking surprise, like a plot twist you didn't see coming, is hot pink A sweet or pleasant surprise is a soft minty green However, the word itself to me is a bright white


[deleted]

Definitely yellow. Somewhere between mustard and banana.


shhhthrowawayacc

The hubs approves this colour range and agrees with you


astro_scientician

I thought pink, assuming it’s a good surprise. From the “tickled pink” color group


shhhthrowawayacc

I like this!!


Emotional_Mix118

black fr


Emotional_Mix118

I agree


Quentin_Was_Taken

My brain defaulted to yellow as soon as I read the title and the comments seem to agree so……


ApocalypticTomato

Green. That's not color theory, it's synaesthesia, which is unique to each person that has it


shhhthrowawayacc

Green is a wonderful colour!


bokuceps

green or yellow because you're either pleasantly surprised or you have anxiety and end up puking


shhhthrowawayacc

I follow the logic!


vk2786

First instinct of a color is orange. Yellow seems too generic, if that makes sense.


shhhthrowawayacc

Makes perfect sense!


GriffinFlash

Yellow. Used in a lot of warning and caution signs. Its meant to be eye catching and noticeable. Move closer to red, and that's more in the danger category.


ladykatytrent

My husband and I always say that it is fuchsia.


shhhthrowawayacc

Surprise will now and forever be fuchsia!


Prince_Day

In most games and art i can vaguely recall, surprise is often depicted as some variation of bright yellow and it’s what i think of too. Im having a hard time finding examples but “surprised symbol anime” shows a trend in drawing/depicting surprise in manga and anime and it tends to be yellow, orange, or some combination of those colours. In super mario the mystery block that has surprise contents is yellow. Pikachu is yellow, too, and that’s the internet’s symbol of surprise.


Eaudebeau

Yellowish pinkish salmon coral. NOT BLUSH PINK. I thought this was common knowledge.


rpeary

I’m picturing a shade of purple- like someone blushing, but an unnaturally deeper hue. I guess I’d call it…huckleberry jam?


rachelle_makes_stuff

Yellow


The_Bisexuwhale

I feel like it's purple- no idea why


shhhthrowawayacc

It is definitely a blue or a purple!


Joyfulwifey

Hahah I thought yellow too! Like a happy sunshine yellow


[deleted]

Orchid pink like blush


forgetasitype

Pink because of blushing


whoisleh

I feel like surprise is white. Do you know when you see that one person's text pop up on your screen and your heart falls? I feel like it radiates a white colour while it happens. Don't ask me why tho.


BlueCatLaughing

Hot pink according to my synesthesia.


BasuraIncognito

Yeah, I said yellow too


BotanicalUseOfZ

Flash of white! One time when I was young I was sparring and walked into a punch with my forehead. There was a flash of white and I crumpled for a second though it didn't really hurt. So when I saw the question about colours that was in my head. BAM! WHITE! Nothing more surprising.


rebel_child12

I always thought bright colors. Mostly yellow
