- Splash is a color format where each color is a 3-digit number representing red, green, and blue channels from 0 to 9.
- It simplifies color selection by reducing decision paralysis and offers only 1000 possible colors, making it manageable to list them all.
- The format is human-readable, computer-readable, and performant, with easy implementation via functions or lookup tables.
- Splash was used in Cellpond with custom mappings to fit specific themes, such as adjusting colors for better visibility or aesthetic preferences.
- Examples of implementation include conversion to hex codes, custom channel lookups, and pre-baked CSS stylesheets for web use.
