So... color? In what circumstances will that actually work?

As I understand it, only in the rather niche circumstance that you are Behdad Esfahbod and have a specially hacked-up Cairo (see https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fonts/2014-January/001663.html).

The rest of us get greyscale, which looks like this: https://mavit.fedorapeople.org/tmp/Screenshot%20from%202015-02-08%2021:30:48.png

The greyscale version still looks good, and I think a proper emoji font is something we should have by default. I do hope it'll work with color too someday.
