When is a standard still cheap to change?
Writing — read the piece
- Asked for
- A bricklayer kneeling with a trowel, nudging one brick straight in wet mortar along a half built wall
- Drawn with (triad)
#b5ce3c#408aa0#c255a7
Why these three
Three points spaced evenly around the wheel — the furthest apart three hues can be.
- SeedSHA-256 of
when-is-a-standard-still-cheap-to-change, which is the same every time and different for every piece. - Base hueThe first two bytes as a fraction of 65,535, times 360 = 69°.
- GeometryThe third byte modulo 4 picks triad, which adds 0°, 120°, 240°.
- WobbleThree more bytes shift each by up to ±12° — +1.0°, +4.1°, +5.2° — 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.
