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.

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.

Well, I find it hard to reason with RGB values. It is much easier to use HSV, to be honest, after looking up the Hue with a tool.

author here. that's okay this tool is for me

[amelius]

That's certain okay with me, but I assumed you came here to get feedback.

[wahnfrieden]

They did not submit it and they can't take it down either

[humbugtheman]

i didn't

[Hasnep]

Sorry who are you? Are you the author?

[DOGMATICA]

that's so real tbh

[AnthonBerg]

Feedback is when it's useful.

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.

[lpghatguy]

Take care here though, because shaders are almost always working in linear sRGB colors, while color codes are almost always defined in gamma-encoded sRGB.

This property makes it mildly annoying to copy color constants between different contexts.

[amelius]

Also if you divide by 10 your maximum is 0.9, not 1.0.

So you still need a calculator to map between the two.
