A woman seen from behind faces a screen showing her own face, with a keyboard and mouse nearby.

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.

What happens when designers open pull requests?

Why these three

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

  1. SeedSHA-256 of what-happens-when-designers-open-pull-requests, 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 = 88°.
  3. GeometryThe third byte modulo 4 picks analogous, which adds 0°, 35°, 190°.
  4. WobbleThree more bytes shift each by up to ±12° — +1.8°, 2.6°, +8.1° — so two pieces that draw the same geometry are still not the same shape on the wheel.
  5. Result#6f9c4290° at 58% saturation, 61% value#4eb74f121° at 57% saturation, 72% value#9e5ab1286° at 50% saturation, 70% 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.
