A Color a Day -

Описание: A color a day will… (take all your worries away?) Maybe not. 😅 Yet this will fill your screen with #66eedd color for 12 hours in up to 8K resolution.
“A Color a Day” is a personal project where I will upload a random color every single day to YouTube for the next 11 years. These 4096 colors will be taken from the 12-bit color depth palette.

Why did I not choose from the 24-bit True Color standard?

(1) Because that’s 16,777,216 colors! One color a day will take almost 46,000 years to complete that palette. 🤯 I’m not sure if there will still be YouTube by then. 😅

(2) The 24-bit palette has more color depth than the human eye can even recognize. Well, unless mantis shrimps will be watching these videos… 🦐😂

By comparison, with the 12-bit palette with 4,096 colors, “A Color a Day” will complete in “just” a little over 11 years. Now that’s livable. (And will fit in a single YouTube playlist.)

Started September 16, 2024, hello December 3, 2035!

Now, what do you think tomorrow’s shade will be? 🙄
