CCDS: a design system that ships itself
Work — read the piece
- Meant to show
- A designer with low vision at the size she needs, making the change herself in the product's real material instead of handing over a picture of it.
- Asked for
- A South Asian woman and an older colleague at one desk, the screen between them magnified to twice the size of everything around it, her hands already typing the change
- Drawn with (split)
#b9aa3c#3f7db4#763cb2
Why these three
The opposition backed off by 30 degrees either side, which keeps the contrast without the vibration.
- SeedSHA-256 of
ccds, which is the same every time and different for every piece. - Base hueThe first two bytes as a fraction of 65,535, times 360 = 64°.
- GeometryThe third byte modulo 4 picks split, which adds 0°, 150°, 210°.
- WobbleThree more bytes shift each by up to ±12° — −11.9°, −6.3°, −5.1° — so two pieces that draw the same geometry are still not the same shape on the wheel.
- Result
#b9aa3c53° at 68% saturation, 73% value#3f7db4208° at 65% saturation, 71% value#763cb2269° at 66% saturation, 70% value
Saturation never drops below 72% and value never below 78%, which is what keeps a hue reading as the color it was chosen to be rather than as a dark. More on how these are made.
