Draws this one again — same subject and the same people, a new palette and a new angle on it, described afresh. It replaces the drawing on this page for everyone, until somebody draws another. Costs the site about eight cents, and a few seconds.

How do we learn a spec nobody reads?
Writing — read the piece
- Asked for
- A designer at a wide monitor, terminal open mid build, one narrow strip along the bottom edge lit pale against the dark screen
- Drawn with (split)
#d45dd3#81a054#5dd89c
Why these three
The opposition backed off by 30 degrees either side, which keeps the contrast without the vibration.
- SeedSHA-256 of
how-do-we-learn-a-spec-nobody-reads, which is the same every time and different for every piece. - Base hueThe first two bytes as a fraction of 65,535, times 360 = 301°.
- GeometryThe third byte modulo 4 picks split, which adds 0°, 150°, 210°.
- WobbleThree more bytes shift each by up to ±12° — −0.8°, −6.7°, −0.5° — so two pieces that draw the same geometry are still not the same shape on the wheel.

Saturation never drops below 72% and value never below 78%, which is what keeps a hue reading as the colour it was chosen to be rather than as a dark. More on how these are made.
