I don't think I'll ever use this, but it is very interesting, specially as someone who likes programming

Ohhhh wowwww, this is super interesting! I love playing with color "science," so I think I'll give this a try!
I dabbled a bit in C++ and know juuuust enough binary to get the basic jokes, so I'm glad to know that same knowledge can be useful for art!

this is fantastic i should try it, it's really appreciated that you decide to share this with us
also you can do it on Linux with Galculator .

I end up using that trick at least every time I do a painting. Β For some reason eyeballing stuff on a color wheel is not my thing. Β Glad you found it helpful. Β Thanks! Β

That's quite interesting! Do I use them when developing a programm? Like, they are in a library but that's how I get to them? Or are they used somewhere else?

XOR is a standard function in most languages. Β just go something like:
hex white = #FFFFFF ;
hex colorB = #yourColor ;
hex complement = white xor colorB;
also xor can be written as ^

It is sort of obscure but it is a simple brute force way to get it done.

I'm pretty unfamilliar with binary and I really want to learn more, but it's pretty hard xD
Anyway, this is a cool tutorial! Not sure how often I'll use it, but I sure will Keep it in mind.
Thanks for the Llama, btw!

Thanks for your support.
yes, getting into the guts of computers can be daunting.
but, at times, it can be the most direct way to get something done.

Is...Is this the power of a god?
Thanks for the llama, by the way

welcome!
well--color wheels don't work for me--I want math.
so, it could be the a superpower.
(did you hear the old joke about there being 10 kinds of people in the world,
those who understand binary and those who don't)

I've never heard it. Care to tell?

That's the joke. Β It's a binary joke. Β 1010101010101Β
Do you know that mathematicians are always confusing Halloween and Christmas?Β

11 cheers for binary!

As someone who tries both programming and painting, this makes me happy on so many levels XD
