- Sniffnoy 4y agoI mean, I would associate the term pretty strongly with indexed color with irregular regions, not with square pixels.
- munchbunny 4y agoIt usually does, but the article talks about manually drawing out a grayscale image by following luminance numbers. That’s generally not considered “indexed color” unless you’re using a mapping of pixel values to grayscale values (indexing) to reduce the number of valid pixel values for compression purposes.

- grogenaut 4y agoTo me it means I as a bad artist am just filling in colors likely with really bad color mixes on an image. It has a connotation of really low end art.
- nneonneo 4y agoIt’s simpler than that; the pixels were just light intensity values (per the article, they had originally intended to get various shades of grey chalk). The scientists just wound up applying their own “palette” to the intensity values.
