Does it count as a different nationality if I'm from Illinois where we are still living the 15th century, waiting for an abacus to be developed.

I live in Xenia, Ohio, U.S. I've spent my entire life living within a five mile radius of the Greene County Courthouse[^].
3rd generation 'Murican, descended from a mix of German and English immigrants who arrived in the late 1800's.
First college graduate in my family (Wright State University[^], class of 1984). My daughter was the second.
While I'm a Boomer[^] according to my birthdate, my social sensibilities tend to be millenial.
My musical taste includes classical, 60's pop and rock, 70's funk, 80's pop, 90's modern rock, contemporary jazz, 'chill', and New Age.
Those are all the social classifications that come immediately to mind.

I am in Oregon near Portland. I am Irish from my mother. My great grandparents, on her dad's side, immigrated here. My dad's surname has been here since 1600s. I did a 23andMe and I am white mixed with white to the 99.9%. There is a .1% unassigned which I would love to know what it is but.... Also I am more Neanderthal than most. I don't know what that means.

I made a silly IoT thing that tells you the name of the color you're pointing at.
ESP32 X11 Color Detector w/ GFX - YouTube[^]
It's not even useful as a color picker, because nobody needs a color picker on IoT.
But it has 140 named X11 colors to choose from. Some of the choices, like finding indian red among the pinks, are surprising, but not inaccurate by cartesian color distance methods.
Anyway, it's not really worth making an article out of, because it's not useful by itself, but presented as a curiosity for any of you PCers that want to adapt the idea into your projects.
It's very simple. Get an HSV color value, use that to do your color picky things, and drawing, and then make a palette of named x11 colors. Use a cartesian distance matching algorithm to find the closest matching color in the palette, and then use that palette index as an index into a string table containing the color names.
Anyway, just a silly toy i made.

I need that now!
Nice btw! Now the computer can communicate to human better than me!

That's what we have tips'n'tricks for.

If it wasn't useless, sure.

Seeing how you solved a problem isn't useless even if the application might be.

Not useless! Based on the video this looks like a nice tidy little tool for folks designing apps for your environment.

But it runs on the end machine. If I was making a tool like that to generate color values, it really should be on a PC, and then use those values on the device.
However, I did find a use case for a particularly complicated application with a lot of user defined settings where you can change colors around. This is useful for that.

I have a vague recollection that someone has made a similar instrument to classify Lee, Rosco, Gam etc theatre gels, by passing light through them and then comparing against a database.
