    Let's see ... a mixture of all colours is, of course, white, and Linus' colour is yellow [linuxjournal.com] (well, it was in 1999, but it's the only one I've found, although that might just be my lacking search-fu). For "Other" I choose "black" (not that it matters too much, at 3%). Therefore we get:

    0.27*(255,0,0) + 0.26*(0,255,0) + 0.14*(0,0,255) + 0.14*(128,128,128) + 0.07*(255,255,0) + 0.03*(255,255,255) + 0.03*(0,0,0) + 0.01*(255,255,0) = (114.82,112,27,61.27) ≈ (115,112,61).

    Therefore the chosen colour is #73703d. Which happens to be an olive green (at least on my screen/to my eyes).

    I call it olive green too but it may be red to you as far as I'm concerned. You just call it green too.
