Is this a long-running joke or is there a connection between PCB quality/complexity and solder mask color?
Just look who is asking and the answer should be clear

There is absolutely no relationship between the color of the PCB and its quality.
This study relates to cases specifically, but I'm pretty sure these concepts have be proven to apply to all PC hardware: http://www.dansdata.com/black.htm

Yes, its a joke. There is a poster on here (tweakboy) who truly believes it matters and spouts it off often. However if you look at his post history you'll notice have the crap he posts is illiterate bs.
This is the real answer.
Thanks a lot for the straight answer. A quick Google search sort of answered the question, but I still see it spread around on forums that PCB is graded in colors. I wasn't really sure.
Red and blue PCBs are cheap from cheap companies,,
green PCB like ASUS or Gigabyte is best quality.
A lot of people assume that anyone that doesn't know something that they do is stupid, and that stupid people deserve to be tricked.
Those giving that kind of advice are just deriving sadistic pleasure out of tricking others into making bad choices. Or have been duped themselves and repeat the bad advice given to them.
As far as such practical jokes go though, its a lot less severe the others. Some of the fake advice you find online can cause serious injuries.
Did you even read the article I linked to?
I'm not sure they could have made it more obvious that it was joke without actually saying, "This is a joke! Do not take seriously!"

Galaxy wtf is that company. No trust in junk companies as their PCB is lower quality junk usually red or blue.
Quality PCB is green and is from ASUS or EVGA or Gigabyte,,, the rest of companies are joke imo like PNY and Galaxy and BFG Diamond XFX etc,,

10 (or so) years ago it seemed popular to have a window in your case with lights and everything inside had to look ....uh interesting. These days no one gives a sh#$
I am sure the 12 year olds today still care about glow junk in their PC
Heh.. I have glow junk in my PC.. and I am not a 12 year old.
Ah, I said I am SURE About 12 year olds... older people I am not SURE about... they might or might NOT care. And its not like EVERY 12 year old cares... Generally I think that as one gets older, they care less and less about those things. But it is by no means universal or a BAD thing that they do.
