About

"Do you love the colour of the sky?" : “Do you love the colour of the sky?” refers to a series of long-form images depicting the color gradient of the sky throughout a 24-hour cycle. On Tumblr , these images have inspired quite a few parodies featuring an irrelevant character or imagery at the bottom. In May 2020, the original meme gained popularity as a part of the Stretched Instagram Posts trend.

Origin

On January 31st, 2012, tech news blog 2dayBlog.com[11] uploaded a long-form image titled “Do you love the color of the sky?” on the Jokes section of the site. The original image consists of a long gradient showing the sky during different times of the day and night. At the very bottom, the text read “i Love it the Colour of Sky Very Much!!!” [sic] and a hand-drawn smiley face and two clouds.
