We already have 3-digit hex colors, e.g. #fff is white. I don't see the point of using decimals here. You only lose resolution.

- humbugtheman 5mo agoauthor here. i find it hard to count with letters
- amelius 5mo agoWell, I find it hard to reason with RGB values. It is much easier to use HSV, to be honest, after looking up the Hue with a tool.
- humbugtheman 5mo agoauthor here. that's okay this tool is for me
- amelius 5mo agoThat's certain okay with me, but I assumed you came here to get feedback.
- humbugtheman 5mo agoi didn't
- DOGMATICA 5mo agothat's so real tbh
- Hasnep 5mo agoSorry who are you? Are you the author?
- wavemode 5mo agoyes that's the author, but he didn't submit this to HackerNews
- humbugtheman 5mo agoi'm not a man
- yummybrainz 5mo agoUsername doesn't check out :P
- humbugtheman 5mo agoit's been a wild two decades since i picked it
- yummybrainz 5mo agoYou go, girl!
- humbugtheman 5mo agoi'm not a girl
- graypegg 5mo agoYou go, simple-as! :) Hopefully this thread isn't putting you down. Sorry if it's coming off like that.
- yummybrainz 5mo agoYeah, completely unintentional on my part, but I do be dumb sometimes.
- wahnfrieden 5mo agoThey did not submit it and they can't take it down either
- AnthonBerg 5mo agoFeedback is when it's useful.
- thot_experiment 5mo agoDang, given all the cool visual work on your website I absolutely would not have expected that. Always good to be reminded how disparate we all are from one another. Makes me grateful I got my mom to sign that waiver to let me get on Neopets, I don't even see the hex code anymore, I just see marigold, umber, vermilion.
- sph 5mo agoIf one works with shaders, you get the best of both worlds just by dividing by 10: vec3 color = vec3(1.0, 0.3, 0.9); One decimal digit ought to be enough for anyone.
- lpghatguy 5mo agoTake care here though, because shaders are almost always working in linear sRGB colors, while color codes are almost always defined in gamma-encoded sRGB. This property makes it mildly annoying to copy color constants between different contexts.
- amelius 5mo agoAlso if you divide by 10 your maximum is 0.9, not 1.0. So you still need a calculator to map between the two.
