It was a very logical thing for me but i also was genuinely curious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I thought about arranging the colors in order, logically sorting the colors, I was giddy and then laughing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ordering the colors by Hue, Saturation or Brightness was easy enough, but  not yet interesting enough. Then I decided to plot the sorted colors in a spiral, consistent with the approach Kelly took, a procedure I first developed for <a href=\"https:\/\/andrebrocatus.com\/art\/spectrum-rgb-colors-arranged-by-chance-v5\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3009\">EK Spectrum colors arranged by chance V5<\/a>. This made this series so much more interesting and delightful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What surprised me was that `i could also order by color, and it yielded a very uniform result. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/processing.org\/reference\/color_datatype.html\">processing documentation<\/a>: <em>From a technical standpoint, colors are 32 bits of information ordered as&nbsp;<strong>AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGBBBBBBBB<\/strong>&nbsp;where the A&#8217;s contain the alpha value, the R&#8217;s are the red value, G&#8217;s are green, and B&#8217;s are blue.<\/em> There is no alpha in these colors so they are basically ordered according to their Blue, Green, and Red values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
