Drawing for UKG: asking 184 customers what they were trying to get done.

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 neighbors reading as one family, and a third opposite them to argue with it.

  1. SeedSHA-256 of ukg-recruiting, 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 = 62°.
  3. GeometryThe third byte modulo 4 picks analogous, which adds 0°, 35°, 190°.
  4. WobbleThree more bytes shift each by up to ±12° — +7.4°, −2.5°, −10.3° — so two pieces that draw the same geometry are still not the same shape on the wheel.
  5. Result#afc53969° at 71% saturation, 77% value#7fd04294° at 68% saturation, 81% value#5553ae241° at 52% saturation, 68% 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.
