What colour is Irish green? It is also called Irish flag green, and shamrock green. I went hunting for the colour codes and find the hex colour codes for Irish Green just like science magic.
Web colours came along with colour displays. Wikipedia says that in the mid-1990s displays were capable of 256 colours and that's when web-safe colours were determined and a standard was created.
Since then the standard has moved to 24-bit TrueColor - it uses 8 bits each of Red, Green and Blue. How many colour variations are there? 16,777,216 compared to ten million colours that the human eye can discriminate.
I remember the green cathode-ray tube (CRT) displays in the 1970s and when we got colour screens it was like a miracle. Wouldn't it be amazing to put a current day screen side-by-side with one of the old ones and see the differences?
I expect there will be many happy people everywhere celebrating St. Patrick's Day. My thinking is that it will become known as the 'coming-out' of the Pandemic milestone. Perhaps a rainbow and pot of gold is needed to make the coming-out permanent.
What kind of bow can’t be tied? A rainbow.
Where can you always find gold? In the dictionary.
What do you call a fake Irish stone? A sham-rock!
Why are leprechauns so good at gardening? They have green thumbs!
Here are our pictures today - look at the Irish Green shades above. It seems there's not that much Irish going in in these images.
