What 16 Million Colors Looks Like…


What 16 Million Colors Looks Like…

I remember working on a 1bit monochrome Macintosh Plus back in 1991 and wondering what it would be to have 16 grades of grey. Now, I can have 16 million colors, in one blog post! To enjoy the full glory of 16 million colors click this image so you can see the 4096 x 4096 pixel version.

Go full screen, smoke a joint (only in Amsterdam!) and think about the scale of things for a moment. Snowflakes, the universe, butterflies, grains of sand, dinosaurs and the size of your ego. Breathe in. Breathe out. Can you feel it now?
