From c07400e1eb21aec6e335b4fc27c19ef3efb01e39 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cameron Pfiffer Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 22:08:18 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Add gap, thickness, and rotation controls to the color rings study. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The gap slider compresses or expands the space between rings (outer ring fixed, inner rings move radially with a floor so they never collapse), thickness changes stroke width, and rotation spins the whole mark, so the page works as a mark-design surface rather than a saturation-only study. 👾 Generated with [Letta Code](https://letta.com) Co-Authored-By: Letta Code --- public/color-rings.html | 23 ++++++++--- public/color-rings.js | 58 +++++++++++++++++++++++----- scripts/color-rings.test.mjs | 75 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- 3 files changed, 123 insertions(+), 33 deletions(-) diff --git a/public/color-rings.html b/public/color-rings.html index dee0328..4b873e0 100644 --- a/public/color-rings.html +++ b/public/color-rings.html @@ -14,24 +14,37 @@

Color rings

Three colors. One quiet experiment.

100% intensity is the original palette. Hue and HSL lightness stay fixed; saturation stops at 100%. Gap compresses or expands the space between rings; thickness changes stroke width; rotation spins the whole mark. Readouts are the exact sRGB hex colors shown.
