What colour is it?

For the geek inside all of us!

Seems like an excellent idea.

Like it, very nice. (It would never be time by that, though.. shame.)

Is anyone able to make this into an active desktop wallpaper? That would be amazing!!

It is taking the time and recoding it to change the background colour to match the colour code based on the time stamp, if you watch for a full minute you should see some big colour changes in that time.

I think it is based on each set of 2 digits giving you the value for each of the three colours in RGB, but it has just gone midnight so I will need to check in the morning to see how it looks then.

It is, the colour code is shown below the time as the #RRGGBB made from the hours, minutes and seconds respectively.

Will only vary between #000000 and #235959, rather than the full range up to #FFFFFF

Geek in me says it's a misrepresentation of colours, particularly the reds, leaving out about 1.669*10 to the 7 colours, which is almost all of them

Fancy writing your own version to cover FF/24*hrs:FF/60*mins:FF/60*s to improve it?

Actually, that's kind of tempting. You'd need a *really* accurate colourimeter to tell the time from it, mind you But it makes a pretty colour changing clock.

EDIT: OK, I'm proper sad. I've actually done this now. I'll get it online at some point and post up a link. It'll be absolutely black at midnight (00:00:00) and absolutely white at 23:59:59....

Oh that is cool.

You haven't really, have you?
