This SXSW (south by so white) panel is apparently addressing the emergent trend of white people to dress in dull colors.
I hear Halley may fly out there in her fucia sweater to demonstrate how white people can effectively add color to any outfit. She will be bringing one of Shelley's brilliant flowers with her to share as a best practice in color mapping.
As for adding any real color to these conferences, well, that'd be interesting.
