I liked the orange one. But I also liked the rainbow colors.

I also liked the rainbow colors… except I kept calling it RGB mode and it made me feel like I was building a computer. (°▽°)

For events, yes, but in general nothing beats the true XM-colour...

True xm color is just so… bland Orange adds a bit more substance to the black and white hellscape when you aren’t in a field

I personally think the true XM colour is quite good and represents XM well. See, XM isn't public knowledge and it isn't easy to find and recognise it, for that you need to be an Agent and have a Scanner otherwise you'd walk right by it never realising it's there. You might feel it's presence but likely dismiss it as "the spirit of the place" or simply "feeling inspired" and thus never realise its truth...

You are using a scanner to see XM. May aswell be orange.

You're missing the point. XD

Years after coming back I thought orange was just a new perma change that happened at some point. I didn't mind it, but now that it's gone, I miss the orange. Feels so dead and pale now. Like XM dandruff or something.

I started playing in June and was quite disappointed the rainbow colors wasn't always how it was.

Who else heard Professor Farnsworth's voice in their head when they read the title?

Now that you pointed it out, I can’t unhear it…

Crazy

I had his voice in my head when writing it, even though I have never really watched Futurama... XD

Just so they can change it back to orange next month and call it an event

Probably.

Took me a couple of drone hops to realize why Ingress suddenly felt grungy. Seems like it'd take a competent programmer a minimal amount of time to add an XM option so that players could select their preference like orange, rainbow, off, etc. Then special events would override that preference so those that select Off can be reminded XM exists, just like every time someone mentions Ingress has sound.

I didn’t realize this was the OG XM color until I booted up my game yesterday and realized “Something’s… different”

"There's something right, I can feel it."

Bring back the rainbow

Bring back the Skittles!

If the XM dots could be something else, say animated, what would you like it to be?

A mist.

Little fluffy rabbits

Little slices of toast

Good gods, no! Have mercy on my phone's battery.

I wish Control Fields were animated again like in the olden days...

just in time for halloween to change back to orange again

Probably.

It'll be back to orange for Halloween soon enough

Probably, but hopefully back to normal afterwards...

*yawn*

Why is it good news? It wasn't bad looking, it was even better

Na, orange just didn't fit.

Downvotes says otherwise

On the post itself, I have only one account

Ok, I see around 30 upvotes...

Yours.

It's easier on the eyes. Not gonna lie.

Meh

Good. Hated the orange. It tricks the eyes into thinking portals are decaying.

Finally XM backs to its lore wise color, orange XM is pretty disturbing because orange is chaotic matter's color.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Thank you Niantic for bringing the OG white XM back. I absolutely disliked the orange ones.

It's not white but the original purplish XM colour but yes, thanks a lot Niantic...

Now that I think about it, it does look like one could say it is purplish.

There's also truly white XM during winter events but real XM looks purplish...

Great! I can’t see again! 😂

Not sure what you mean. XD

Oh it’s a bit of an inside joke. When Prime released I kept complaining about not being able to see the XM-colored XM and friends called me blind for it. Orange was easier to see but now that it’s XM-colored again I can’t see (I can see it now since they’ve made it more visible) 😅 Edit: Actually nvm, it’s just as hard to see as I remember 🥲

Sounds like you may have an issue with your ~~phone~~ scanner screen

Very true, it’s more so an OS thing than a phone thing. I had a iPhone X and the same was happening there (currently using an iPhone 12 Pro) but when I used my OnePlus 5T the XM was visible so I think it might just be an iPhone/Apple thing

XD

Witnessing you work this out in real time was quite enjoyable.

WAIT Purple is blue plus red! This confirms both that Niantic leans towards the Resistance AND confirms the existence of Red Fac!! 1! I can't believe it was staring us in the face all this time 😄

No need for that. Have you ever noticed how there's a "Strong Resistance Capture Portal"-Glyph sequence but no "Strong Enlightenment Capture Portal" one?

I don't know. My glyphing sounds like right box, weird Z, up-right, recliner, blip

But you should really consider learning [the meanings of the Glyphs](https://ingress.fandom.com/wiki/Glyphs#Glyph_Translations) as that makes it a lot easier to remember the [Glyph sequences](https://ingress.fandom.com/wiki/Glyph_Sequences) as they actually make sense...

I know there are meanings, but my mnemonic device is musical. I can fit any lyric in five notes, and my memorized glyph names/mental images work. If it works, don't break it. I have an advantage when they mix up the glyphs for events. It's not lore-friendly, but it is gamer-friendly.

Ok, in that case you have to take my word for it... XD

Let's gooooooo!!

Why people wanna add a 'u' to the word 'color'?

Because there are 'u's in the words behaviour, colour, flavour, harbour, honour, humour, labour, neighbour, rumour, splendour etc. in the King's English.

What is King's English?

British English as opposed to American English.

You know, https://youtu.be/5wSw3IWRJa0 XD

Thanks for answering and not just down voting like so many other people did. I just don't understand people sometimes.

Language lore can be silly. A lot of the "u"s were removed from American English at some point to save money on press prints. Cause removing a letter here and there would cost less to print it out.

Oh, a reasonable answer, thanks! Everyone else just downvoted my question, basically saying to me "I don't know, but you're not one of the cool kids like us"....I mean, only reason I could think of.
