I dunno, it's kind of an achievement, "Radioactive Beige". Until now, no color scheme had ever acheived simultaneous DayGlo and Drab. By rights, it just shouldn't be possible. Yet there it is, making my eyes scream and my ears bleed. BEIGE BEIGE BEIGE BEIGE BEIGE.

THE BEIGE OF A DAMNED ELDER GOD YEARNING TO ENFOLD YOU IN THE HORRIBLE CLUTCHES OF ITS CLOYINGLY INSIPID YET AGGRESSIVELY MALEVOLENT TINT.

Not the merely mortal 70s beige of the hospital waiting room, nor the beige of thick yet laddered tights concealing the varicose veins of the embittered nurse in attendance in the waiting room, nor yet the beige of the liver spots on the back of the crabbed hands of the coughing patient in the waiting room. IT IS THE BEIGE OF THE END TIMES. THE BEIGE THAT CONSUMES ALL.

All worldly beige is a mere shadow of the HORROR THAT IS SLASHDOT IT SECTION RADIOACTIVE BEIGE.
