I've had a question put to me, How do you use the color data?

Well, I mainly created the color data to visualize where in the 3-dimensional 10x10x10 cube (0-9 x 0-9 x 0-9) the data is occurring.

Sometimes just looking a numbers can be mind numbing.

If you look at the total possible permutations of PICK 3 data in color, you can see that the triples are black, gray, and white; corresponding to 0 0 0, 1 1 1 to 8 8 8, and 9 9 9 respectively.

Colors that are near black, gray, or white a... [ More ]

If you're having a problem getting to the complete PICK 3 data color page on the Yahoo website, you can try this AOL site ---> PICK 3 data color

This link, however, is only temporary for now.

Yes Tood, I have looked at that. I'm actually leaning more towards using the fourth value D as a propagation wave through the color cube along the x,y,z axis.

Please keep us posted on your progress. Pick 3 seems to work especially well with RGB colors, given that there are three sets of numbers. Maybe you could use a 4-gidit color representation for Pick 4. Isn't there one called CMYK or something like that

I have a few ideas I'm working on. Some involving vector analysis and other related analysis with color, color banding, and other physics like color analysis components. It's in it's early stage. I'm also looking at PICK 4 color cube mapping.

Very interesting! Have you figured out how to use the data yet

RGB mapping of PICK 3 numbers

PICK 3 data can be mapped into the RGB color cube and represented as a color.

There are enough data points to evenly distribute the data throughout the cube.

The basic formula is:

c_dec = d * (85 / 3), where d = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}

c_dec is the decimal value of the individual color point

To get the 0 to 255 integer value, round d * (85 / 3) to the nearest whole number.

c_int = round(d * (85 / 3),0), d = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}

c
