Image notes

The current image height, 480 pixels, was chosen to match that of standard VGA. (It also divides conveniently by 6.)
The current image width, 777 pixels, was chosen to approximate the golden ratio:

$480\varphi = 480\left(\frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2}\right) = 776.656314\ldots \approx 777.$

Colors for the current version of the image (version of 17:02, 1 April 2008) are taken from the excellent BigRainbowFlagBuilding.jpg image on Wikimedia Commons.

Technion

(Colors replaced with real-life colors from the excellent Image:BigRainbowFlagBuilding.jpg. Also removed overlap kludge (guys, the answer is to fix the SVG-to-PNG converter, not to “fix” the image))

(Overlap rectangles to prevent WikiMedia from misrepresenting the overlap at different resolutions in the svg->png conversion (e.g., interpolation errors are visible along edges in the previous version of this image at low resolution in [[w:Template:Sexual)
