#00ffff — Public Fediverse posts

How many pixels in a space on this or that font?

All about #FF00FF and #00FFFF specifically?

Making a programming language from cuneiform?

@TengoHipo This looks an awful lot like early 1980s IBM PC CGA colours, maybe you should try converting it to 320x200 in 4 colours, 2-bit colour palette. Just plain white, magenta, cyan, black #ffffff #ff00ff #00ffff #000000

Most people in offices didn't have the luxury of a colour screen though (if they even had a CGA card installed and not just an MDA card that couldn't do any graphics at all, just plain ASCII text) and had to look at their pie charts in four shades of green or amber instead. I wonder if CGA palette 0 (white, magenta, cyan) with background colour 0 (black) as the IBM CGA default was responsible for the use of these colours in so many futuristic airbrush posters of the day, or if that was just parallel evolution.

Another interesting thing: the test begins with a colour that is obviously blue or green, if you say "this is green" to something obviously blue and "this is blue" to green it alternates between #0000FF and #00FF00 and if you keep saying the wrong thing as a result your boundary is at hue 180, which is cyan #00FFFF

I just really want to paint with #ff00ff and #00ffff now.

javascript:(function(){ const colors = ['#FF0000',%20'#00FF00',%20'#0000FF',%20'#FFFF00',%20'#00FFFF',%20'#FF00FF'];%20%20%20let%20i%20=%200;%20%20%20setInterval(()%20=>%20{%20%20%20%20%20document.body.style.backgroundColor%20=%20colors[i++%20%%20colors.length];%20%20%20},%20500);%20})();

chroma.scale(['#f00', '#ff0', '#0f0', '#0ff', '#00f', '#f0f', '#f00']).mode('lab').colors(9).slice(0, 8).map(c => [chroma(c).darken(), chroma(c)]).flat()
