Why these three
Three points spaced evenly around the wheel — the furthest apart three hues can be.
- SeedSHA-256 of
where-do-accessibility-decisions-actually-get-made, which is the same every time and different for every piece. - Base hueThe first two bytes as a fraction of 65,535, times 360 = 246°.
- GeometryThe third byte modulo 4 picks triad, which adds 0°, 120°, 240°.
- WobbleThree more bytes shift each by up to ±12° — −1.8°, −5.3°, −0.3° — 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.
