Colours

Most of you know that I am colourblind. Because of this, there are often times when I am not quite sure what colour something is. One of the nice things about computers is that I can use colour pickers to get the hex codes so there is no ambiguity (barring calibration issues, of course). Oddly, the first half of my life consisted of people annoying me with "what colour is this? what colour is this?", and the second half consisted of me annoying them with "That's #aa883d". Hex codes are great.

As an example, here is a snippit of the official Color Name Table.

PaleGoldenRod  #EEE8AA             Shades Mix
PaleGreen  #98FB98             Shades Mix
PaleTurquoise  #AFEEEE             Shades Mix
PaleVioletRed  #D87093             Shades Mix


These are the only colours labeled with the "pale" signifier. Thus, it's a simple matter of doing an average to get the <R,G,B> vector: <C3.4, F0, B0.C>.

Rounding this, we get the code #C3F0B1... or:

Pale  #C3F0B1             Shades Mix


Since the "Mix" options does colour blending between that which you picked and another colour, #FFFFFF, by default, this link gives you these Whiter Shades of Pale.

   #FFFFFF

   #DEF7D4
   #DBF6D0

   #CFF3C1

I have finished processing my Red River Zoo photos. The final set is here.

WARNING: This set has icky photos in it. If you don't like snakes or bugs, you probably shouldn't click on it.

My favorite shot of the set is below. Following that are the highlights of the set.
