  > It's ridiculous that anyone could get the least significant bits of the color right by just eyeballing it If you look at the video carefully, you'll see that the color picker displays numeric RGB values and that it has been sped up. Do you think the code would work if he didn't get the values 100% right?

    Of course that values have to be right. The colours are picked to build the algorithm. Off to the right side of the screen (not visible) is probably another image with the colours in that he's picking from. Maybe it's fake but it's theoretically possible. I don't have a windows pc to try on. He's provided the image though so you could try for yourself.
