Base colors:
At this point I noticed that there were 91 base colors. Using a bit of logic,
one can see
that something like 993333 has at least one color (in the scale) before it. This
color is
660000. From this I came around to realizing that the base had at least 1
of the red, green or blue positions equal to 0 (or 00). It could also be that
base colors have at least one of the red, green or blue positions equal to 255
(or FF) but I have done most of my work based on the base colors with one
positions equal to 0.
Following this I looked back at the first file I had created and realized
that there was an ordered placement which all the bass colors followed. Ok this
isn't scientific but it the end it all worked out and that's what counts!
I coded some more and got an html page with the 6 layers on
it. I was
really amazed at what I was seeing. It didn't take long to realize that the
more you move towards the center the more colors the scale of that color had.
The gray scale contains 6 colors and is in the middle, while a color like FF0000
is on the edge and it's scale contains only one color. This is an important fact
which is present in the rest of the design.
