Description
I was having difficulty predicting what colour a random hex number would be. It's really difficult to visualize how the 3 sets of numbers interact. So I made this chart, which shows pretty much the whole spectrum, starting at 000000 and going to FFFFFF.Notes:
This is made of 16 squares read from top to bottom and THEN left to right.
So that means you read the square 001, 002, 003, etc across until you get to 00F. Then you go down to the next line, which will be 010, 011, 012, etc. Once you reach 0FF the next line below you will be the start of the next square, 100. At the bottom of the column, you go back to the top and start on the second column, with the square 400.
Hex colours are made up of three 2 digit numbers representing red, green, and blue. I'm representing them as 1 digit numbers, so 2B0 on the chart is actually 22BB00. So yeah, there are actually a lot more colours possible (21BB04, 28B300, etc).
I was really sloppy labeling, sorry about that. (I never plan to show these things to anyone else.)
If it's really confusing ask me questions. I'll try to make it clearer. (kiragecko on gmail though, I never check messages here.)
I think it might be really confusing. But - COLOUR CHART!
