The Colour Cube

Every colour on a screen is a mix of red, green and blue, each set somewhere from 0 to 255. Turn those three amounts into directions and every colour gets its own place in a 3D cube: black in one corner, white in the opposite one, and all 16.7 million colours in between.

Each marker is a real colour. Drag to turn the cube, scroll or pinch to zoom, and click a marker to see its code and whether it has been named yet.
