then, why does 222 look blue/green and not dark gray?

> I like my colours to have a bit more blue and green in them, so I skewed everything that direction. Colours like 222 look a tiny bit bluer / greener than you'd expect. It might be hard to see but trust me, it's true babe

Using a LUT to harmonize raw “working” colors is actually kind of genius. Interesting.

We already have 3-digit hex colors, e.g. #fff is white. I don't see the point of using decimals here. You only lose resolution.

If one works with shaders, you get the best of both worlds just by dividing by 10: vec3 color = vec3(1.0, 0.3, 0.9); One decimal digit ought to be enough for anyone.

Take care here though, because shaders are almost always working in linear sRGB colors, while color codes are almost always defined in gamma-encoded sRGB.

This property makes it mildly annoying to copy color constants between different contexts.

I feel like I kind of get the spirit that this is done in, but it’s just not for me. Abstracting away from the existing 6 digit hex color codes just seems like extra work, even though it’s presented as ‘simplifying.’ It may just be too late for me - I’ve already learned how to express color sufficiently by mixing 256 levels of R, G, and B - it’s not useful to relearn how to abstract that to mixing 10 levels of the sa…

"I AM genuinely glad this person is having fun with the little world they’re creating, and that they’re bothering to share it." What's with the ridiculous condescension? I'm also glad that little person you typed your little comments with your fingers! That you created such a fun little comment! And that you shared it with us. Wowie! Good job.

I’m am not genuinely glad to see that you wasted everybody’s time with your inappropriately snarky response, if that makes you feel better - you’re reading negativity where none was intended. As I said, I am genuinely glad. Everyone ought to have fun worn their own little worlds, and feel comfortable sharing it. Maybe one day you too will get to experience that feeling.
