in a few words

Simple app, made from scratch, to explore my photographic work through its colors.

Every single color1 in the web can be expressed with a set of three numbers; amounts of red, green and blue, so the basic blue can be represented by: 0 amount of red, 0 of green and 255 units blue, so this becomes rgb(0,0,255), which formatted as hexadecimal pairs, becomes #0000FF, which IMO is a pretty uncool blue, lets better look at this one, #1685C6, which is pretty cooler and you can find some pictures which have blues close to that one over here.

But here, what does close mean? Well, as in any pair of points in the world there is a distance between them, no matter if it's just in paper, two dimensions, or in space, three dimensions. So, what this app does is see any color as a point in space (a cube to be precise) and looks for all points (or colors) close to it using basic geometric distance formula. It's a bit less geek than you think. Ok, maybe not. But here, works pretty cool :)

to-do (whenever I have time)

  2. Fix display for damn portrait pictures
  3. Fix some UI glitches
  4. Improve visualisation/UI
  5. Display one photo's all color-related ones
  6. Improve current color clustering algorithm
  7. Have a beer ✔️✔️
