That's just sad.

I bet there is at least one federation ship that is that color pink. In fact I bet it was the Excelsior. Oh my.

I would tell people these are our war colors for hiding out in nebulae.

Completely random fact but I always loved this.

So during WW2 they are using aircraft more and more and they started experimenting with camouflage. Whites and blues ended up being pretty useless because they still stood out enormously against the sky. The color that ended up working? Pink.

So if they don't buy the nebulae excuse, say that its human tradition.

Neat, that sounds odd at first but thinking about it mixed with clouds it makes perfect sense. I'd like to see it in action, the video at the link is unavailable. I didn't find any video of it but there is more info and an image here of one parked if anyone is interested
