Why these three
Two neighbours reading as one family, and a third opposite them to argue with it.
- SeedSHA-256 of
how-do-you-stop-being-the-person-who-knows, which is the same every time and different for every piece. - Base hueThe first two bytes as a fraction of 65,535, times 360 = 205°.
- GeometryThe third byte modulo 4 picks analogous, which adds 0°, 35°, 190°.
- WobbleThree more bytes shift each by up to ±12° — +5.1°, +11.6°, −7.9° — 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.
