I don't understand what do the 9 colors have to do with love?

Off the Net:

The number 9 represents wholeness and 108 when added together equals 9. 1+0+8 = 9. Interestingly, if you multiply 9 times ANYTHING, the answer is always 9 when you add the numbers together. Try it! 1x9= 9. 2x9=18 1+8=9. 285x9=2565 2+5+6+5=18 1+8=9. 8543x9=76887 7+6+8+8+7=36 3+6=9 The logic behind this is that 9 represents wholeness or God and God times anything is always God since God is all there is!

Actually, of course, my interest had nothing to do with love, colors, or 9. The history of the applet is that my family took a trip to the Adirondacks, including a side trip to Middlebury VT. At Middlebury College we saw Robert Indiana's LOVE sculpture. I didn't think about it aside from noting it. A few days later my daughter got sick and I stayed home with her. Looking for something to distract myself I noticed a LOVE stamp (originally 2002, when it was 34 cents, but now 37 cents). Its simple geometry allowed me to do LOVE 37 USA. Later I thought that finding a nice way to change the colors might make an interesting user-interface exercise. The result was LOVE in 9 COLORS.

You mean with this interface? No. I work on real projects at my day job.

Added the option of changing all the colors randomly at the same time: click on the colored box to the right of the sliders.
