Three people stand facing a whiteboard covered with sticky notes, one pointing at it with a marker.

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.

Why these three

Two hues opposite each other, the strongest contrast available, with the third supporting the first.

  1. SeedSHA-256 of learning-to-recognize-exclusion, which is the same every time and different for every piece.
  2. Base hueThe first two bytes as a fraction of 65,535, times 360 = 276°.
  3. GeometryThe third byte modulo 4 picks complementary, which adds 0°, 180°, 40°.
  4. WobbleThree more bytes shift each by up to ±12° — 8.0°, +6.2°, +8.4° — so two pieces that draw the same geometry are still not the same shape on the wheel.
  5. Result#8750c5268° at 60% saturation, 77% value#8dcf72102° at 45% saturation, 81% value#893a69325° at 58% saturation, 54% value

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.
