Who writes the alt text for a picture nobody drew?
Writing — read the piece
- Meant to show
- A blind colleague listening to the description of a picture nobody drew, written by someone who still had to look at it first.
- Asked for
- A woman studying a framed picture and writing a description on a card while a man listens through headphones beside her
- Drawn with (complementary)
#a8a25a#263298#64ac48
Why these three
Two hues opposite each other, the strongest contrast available, with the third supporting the first.
- SeedSHA-256 of
who-writes-the-alt-text-for-a-picture-nobody-drew, which is the same every time and different for every piece. - Base hueThe first two bytes as a fraction of 65,535, times 360 = 54°.
- GeometryThe third byte modulo 4 picks complementary, which adds 0°, 180°, 40°.
- WobbleThree more bytes shift each by up to ±12° — +1.6°, +0.0°, +9.4° — so two pieces that draw the same geometry are still not the same shape on the wheel.
- Result
#a8a25a55° at 47% saturation, 66% value#263298234° at 75% saturation, 60% value#64ac48103° at 58% saturation, 67% 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.
