3-digit CSS color chart

[Onyx]

I wasn't sure where to put this, but I made a large PNG image today with all the 3-digit CSS color codes. (Warning, 455kB file.)

Okay, RF is grabbing the picture and making it smaller. Please download from the link above if you want the original image. It is 2048x2048 pixels.

Pretty -- but we all know colors can change shade, but actual evolution to novel colors is impossible.

What are you talking about, it's just a color chart.

You missed the snide analogy, I guess.

I get it. Macro vs. Micro evolution, right?

Cool chart, but what's its purpose?

I would guess that it helps you program a specific color in CSS code, which is used on sites like reddit.

It's for web design. I wanted a big chart to look at instead of messing around with color selector programs. CSS supports 3 digit colors, so it's like #015 instead of #001155, which is easier to key in, and you get 4096 colors anyway which is plenty enough I think.

I might make other charts based on hue/luminosity or whatever and post them here but this will do for now, figured I'd share it in case someone found it useful.

Nope. I need exactly 5000 colors for it to be considered plenty enough.

Ok, made a few more of these and fixed the original one to be in numerical order.
