We already have 3-digit hex colors, e.g. #fff is white.

I don't see the point of using decimals here. You only lose resolution.

If one works with shaders, you get the best of both worlds just by dividing by 10:

  vec3 color = vec3(1.0, 0.3, 0.9);

One decimal digit ought to be enough for anyone.

author here. i find it hard to count with letters

  • Dang, given all the cool visual work on your website I absolutely would not have expected that. Always good to be reminded how disparate we all are from one another.

    Makes me grateful I got my mom to sign that waiver to let me get on Neopets, I don't even see the hex code anymore, I just see marigold, umber, vermilion.
