... THE SQUARE!





I just spent 4 hours messing around with Google to find some code to calculate colors based on hue, saturation and luminance and the reason it took 4 hours is that the first 3 formulas were WRONG! It's amazing how bad information on something hard to verify can spread all over the internet.

HSL -- hue, saturation, luminance -- is an excellent color system for calculating brightness and darkness effects (shadows and highlights, like the simple square above) but the formula is fairly complicated -- or at least the WRONG formulas were.

/Do you wish you hadn't read this, heh?

I have whatever he's having.

edit:

OMFG I didn't notice this before! At first I thought it was just an ordinary, retarded square but now it all makes sense! It's so beautiful~~~ It's hue, saturation and luminance gives it this FiRe that I can't ignore! I must have it!!!!1!
