Color Monologue

Because color is one of my obsessions, I figured I’d share this. It’s nice to have names for the colors we don’t often have words to describe.

Below are some charts for examples, followed by a personal monologue.

List of Colors: 550 Color Names and Hex Codes

(If you can distinguish between these shades of black, let me know…. I can’t! Lol)

Finding My Favorite Color

Spoiler alert: It’s #E0EE00

Their “summary” color charts don’t include my favorite color, so I went into their more in-depth lists and found Bitter Lemon, which I think is about right. Actually, this “traditional” Chartreuse is likely closer:

My Favorite Color is an Experience

When people ask me what my favorite color is, I may come off as ridiculous when I respond “the color of new spring leaves when sunlight shines through them,” but it’s really the truth.

I care a lot about that exact sensation. It’s very captivating to me. I don’t even have to get on a plane to witness it. I can just go down the street or to a local park.

The experience of standing under a tree and gazing up through its branches is enchanting, and this array of color tones glows around me and inside of me. The below image kind of communicates this idea.

I particularly like the yellower green, right where the sun hits the leaves. Source

The term “chartreuse” is still inexact because the examples provided are usually not yellow enough.

This next pic is just for fun:

Using a Color Picker to Find My Favorite Color

Here are some more examples of my favorite color.

Color Picker Source I’m aware these are multiple shades, but oh well. I’m searching.

Sometimes I feel like I get to my favorite color fastest if I go to yellow first, then darken it a little.

Funny how this color now looks worse as I place it against the dark background of Tumblr. In fact, it looks like boogers and I don’t like it as much at all.

The hex code “E0EE00” is really satisfying. Old Macdonald had a farm, E-0, E-E, 0-0…..

I think I’ll settle there for now.

Clothing With (Almost) My Favorite Color

It’s very, very difficult and rare to find clothing in my favorite color.

Is Chartreuse Green or Yellow?

(and who cares?)

Sometimes I wear a sweater from F21 that is pretty close to my favorite color, and people compliment me on my “yellow sweater,” at which I am always amused. To me, the sweater is green. So I have fun randomly asking people if they think the sweater is yellow or green. I just like to see which one they say. There are no wrong answers. I, too, remain uncertain as to which general category my favorite color inhabits. Relatedly, “Chartreuse” falls under “Green,” while “Chartreuse (traditional)” falls under “Yellow” on the first website I linked, List of Colors: 550 Color Names and Hex Codes. (Their version of “Chartreuse” I do not like at all. It is way too blue-green and not yellow at all.) Well, It’s a good thing that the determination of whether this shade is “yellow” or “green" is not particularly important one way or the other, because if people cared about this, I do think they’d never come to a consensus.

Clothing Website Color Pickers

I do, however, wish clothing websites would recognize “chartreuse” in a keyword search or have a more intelligent color picker when filtering results. It would not be too hard to code a tool that analyzes each clothing image and provides 10-20 color names depending on the hex codes it picks up. One could build in a “margin of error” where hex codes that are within a few degrees of variation are also included under those names. So the user could actually use a color picker (or a longer selection of specific colors, at least) to filter by color, and all matching or near-matching clothes would be included in the results.

Thanks for coming to my color monologue!

it's so funny when an item has an expiration date, as in the packaging specifies "best before," and then it's followed by a completely unparsable string of numbers that do not relate to any calendar system currently in use on this planet

Any guesses on what it means?

this post is about the gender binary

idk I'm learning decimal vs hexa for IPv4 vs IPv6

[gingers-emotes]

little known fact about me:

i can count in hexidecimal

it's annoying but not that hard once you get used to it

i can also estimate the colour of something based on a hex code

going more into it after the cut

how to estimate the colour of something based on its hex code:

let's take #ffb485

that's probably about . a lightist yellow or orange i'd estimate? (no I haven't looked at the colour)

how to figure this out :

if you know rgb settings, you know that you have three options:

R: 000-255 G: 000-255 B: 000-255

meaning there are 256 colour options for each number

funny thing about the number 256: it's 16^2

in a hex code, there are 6 digits; split them into three pairs

# __ / __ / __

NEXT: how hexidecimal works

you need to know how it works to get colours without having to look it up

soooo. basically... hexadecimal means that we're in base 16. you know how, in base ten, there's ten numbers ?

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

then, once we get past 9, we add a digit, set it to the next number up, and restart. same in hexadecimal- but we restart when we get to 16, not 10. we don't have numbers that represent the numbers 10-15, so we replace that with letters. counting in hexadecimal looks something like this:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1a 1b 1c ... etc

a = 10, b = 11, c = 12, ... etc

soo, I wanna show you how to get a number based on a hexedecimal code

take f9a. we can split those apart first into three different numbers - f00, 90, and a. as we established before, f is equal to 15. so, that means we have cycled through the full 16 cycle twice (15 * 16 * 16). that gives us the number 3840. now, the next number- 90. no, 90 does NOT equal 90. the 9 means that you've cycled 9 times, which means 9 16s (9 * 16). this gives us 144. now , we have 3840 + 144 . then, the last digit- a. a is equal to 10, so now we have 3840 + 144 + 10 . therefore, f9a = 3995 in decimal. go ahead, check my work!

(a good formula to figure out what to multiply stuff by is this: [first digit] * 16^[amount of digits - 1] . so, if you have like. b039, to figure out b000, you'd do b * 16^(4-1).)

NOW, to turn this into solving hex codes for colour:

remember this bit from before?

this is important. see, the first two digits in a hex code control the RED, the second two control the GREEN, and the last two control the BLUE. you effectively control the RGB settings with it.

for example: let's take the hex from before; #ffb485

# ff / b4 / 85

we learned how to read hexadecimal earlier, so just quickly solve for the numbers (and add 1 to your ending amount!)

that would give us R:256 G:181 B:134 . that's your RGB code from the hex code! that colour is about..

this

so i'd say my initial guess wasn't too far off!

so yea now you know how to count in base 16

soo... Fun fact! When you export a .txt file in Google Docs, it adds a Carriage Return before the Line Feed character (or, in hexadecimal terms, writes 0x0A 0x0D instead of just 0x0D). This will make your TXT file that you were 100% sure would be 6 KB into one that's 7 KB. In other news, I just wasted an hour of my life.
