A Color a Day - Clear Magenta #bb66aa - 2026.10.02 by @majal

A color a day will… (take all your worries away?) Maybe not. 😅 Yet this will fill your screen with #bb66aa color for 12 hours in up to 8K resolution. “A Color a Day” is a personal project where I will upload a random color every single day to YouTube for the next 11 years. These 4096 colors will be taken from the 12-bit color depth palette. Why did I not choose from the 24-bit True Color standard? (1) Because that’s 16,777,216 colors! One color a day will take almost 46,000 years to complete that palette. 🤯 I’m not sure if there will still be YouTube by then. 😅 (2) The 24-bit palette has more color depth than the human eye can even recognize. Well, unless mantis shrimps will be watching these videos… 🦐😂 By comparison, with the 12-bit palette with 4,096 colors, “A Color a Day” will complete in “just” a little over 11 years. Now that’s livable. (And will fit in a single YouTube playlist.) Started September 16, 2024, hello December 3, 2035! Now, what do you think tomorrow’s shade will be? 🙄 ****************************** Today's color details: Friday, October 2, 2026 12-bit: #b6a 24-bit equivalence: #bb66aa rgb(187, 102, 170) Human color name: Clear Magenta This video was generated using FFmpeg along with the beauty of Linux Bash scripts. ****************************** More information and references: Color depth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_d...
