Splash

Splash is a colour format.

Every splash colour is a 3-digit number. Each digit represents a different<br>colour channel: red, green, and then blue.

red<br>green<br>blue

-->

For example, 900 has a full red channel (9) and<br>nothing in green (0) or blue (0).

000 is black, 999 is<br>white, 555 is grey,<br>079 is a light blue, and so on.

Splash colours can help you avoid decision paralysis when picking colours.<br>It's an emotional tool that stops you<br>fussing around — trying to pick the "perfect" colour.

There aren't too many ways to make the most popular colours.

090 green

099 cyan

009 blue

409 purple

909 pink

944 coral<br>--><br>900 red

940 orange

990 yellow

But it still gives you some wiggle room with choosing your<br>own style. Here's how I made my personal colour theme.

093 green

289 cyan

059 blue

529 purple

947 pink

944 coral<br>--><br>922 red

942 orange

991 yellow

Or something like that roughly... It doesn't matter if it's not perfect. The<br>restriction has made me more open to errors and it's totally fine. It's<br>liberating.

There are only 1000 splash colours, so you can realistically list them all<br>out. Okay let's do it. (see you at the bottom)

The above grid isn't generated by your web browser. It's static. I've<br>generated it beforehand and it's small enough that I can include it all here.<br>It doesn't take up too much space.

This is a strategy I developed / used for<br>Cellpond. It's part of why it runs so fast. It<br>also means the user can deal with discrete / individual colour values in the<br>drag-and-drop user interface. They don't have to deal with large numbers at<br>all. Only one to nine.

Implementing splash is easy. There's no library or framework or anything<br>because it's slippy enough to build from<br>scratch yourself.

For example, you could make a function like this. It converts from splash to<br>hex.

function getHexFromSplash(splash) {<br>// Pull out the channels into an array<br>const splashChannels = splash.toString().padStart(3, "0").split("")

// Remap from...
