It seems disingenuous to fade from one color to the next while displaying only two hexes for color. Either that or it’s not fading and my eyes are deceiving me, but as I’m on mobile I’ve not the time to look at the source code.

Not sure what is disingenouous about it... The website is showing the current time encoded as colour, with some animation to make it look good. Its not a colour guessing game :)

For me the animation momentarily turns it into pink, then back to red. I don't really see the point because it just makes an entirely different color to what it's supposed to be showing.

This is explained here:

> Since pure hue variations in RGB comprise less values than the total number of seconds in a day, colors are further modulated each second to show a distintive gamut of colors for every different moment in the day.

> Variations are based on phased sine functions that respond to each individual color, the fine modulation and luminosity.
