Alternating Background Colors

Summary

This script allows me to automatically alternate two different background colors to a series of the same tag, like the <li> list item tag.

I made the script where I have control over the two colors separate from within the script so I can apply the same script to different items with different colors.

I made this while working on the design for Flush, my design blog [at Blogger], trying to alternate the background color of numerous lists on the sidebar.

Background Change by Time

Summary

The background color of this page changes based on the time of day. At midnight, this page is pure blue. At 8am, it is pure red. At noon, yellow. At 4pm, green. You may come back at a different time of day to see the change, or you can temporary change the clock on your computer right now and reload the page.

There is a slightly different hue every four minutes, resulting in 360 hues found in common image editing programs like Photoshop and Illustrator.

The JavaScript that runs this also takes brightness and saturation into account, just like the HSB panel in Photoshop and Illustrator. A relatively simple formula from a less simple understanding of the workings of HSB allows the programmer to change the saturation and brightness level.

Experiments Section Backgrounds (as of June 09)

I wanted to share the photos that I’m using as backgrounds for the different experiments section. They are chosen to relate to their respective sections one way or another.
