- peebeebee 3y agoit was the location of the cabinet of hex-codes. all neatly sorted alphabetically.
- kevindamm 3y agoah, the classic sneakernet
- sircastor 3y agoSorry - that wasn't clear. Across the hall were our Design folks. They had the appropriate colors (in hex) that I needed.
- thakoppno 3y agoThanks for clarification. What’s messing with me is that you seemed to have a computer that drew hex colors. Also, you knew the hex value you wanted. Kinda hate second guessing your actions from the 20th century but why did you walk?

- sircastor 3y agoThis would have been early 2014 (I think). If you want to see the interface in question, it's this one: https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/d3b5b43984f43c68608886dc7235dc0b-1200-80.jpg.webp https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/d3b5b43984f43c68608886dc72... There was a green version as well. I don't really remember why I didn't have a green graphic that I could pull the correct values from. I just recall going across the hall to talk about a Green version of the graphic and with the designer we changed the value in the SVG code instead of Illustrator (Or whatever program he was using.) As for "Why walk across the hall?", there are times when going to someone's desk to discuss a situation is faster and more effective than an email or a chat.
