- dylan604 3y ago6 hex digits or 9 digits for RGB is better? In what way do you figure that to be true?
- croes 3y agoI think parent means guessing the three numbers of an RGB value not the 9 digits
- dylan604 3y agoi guess that person is just thoroughly unfamiliar with editing colors in hex. it's just as easy for me to think in hex or rgb as it's just something i've done for a really long time, so it's harder to equate to why one would be "better" than the other in their opinion. now, me trying to use HSL is a whole other matter.
- airstrike 3y agoI said "3 guesses", not 9... but then again I've only been writing colors in hex for 18-19 years, so not sure if that makes qualifies as "thoroughly unfamiliar"
- dylan604 3y agoI totally missed how you simply meant "guesses" and turned that into something it wasn't by meaning the number of digits to type. I honestly have no idea how I did that. Kind of like when someone is talking to you, but you're actually paying attention to something else so you reply with something that has no bearing whatsoever to what was actually asked. Yeah, that's what I'm going with
- croes 3y agoBetter for a guessing game. Guessing a number between 0 and 15 takes at max 5 guesses, guessing a number between 0 and 255 makes the game harder.
- dagss 3y agoThe point is that the way it is now, you have to guess 3 significant numbers and 3 insignificant numbers. Guessing whether 1st, 3rd or 5th digit is 5 or 6 is something you can be trained for, a skill. Guessing the 2nd, 4th, or 6th digit is an entirely different task and more a purely guessing game as they barely affect the color. It sort of doesn't make sense..
