Byte Blue
Byte Blue begins as a blue color on paper, then shifts with every surface, shadow and neighboring material. Its blue classifications hint at the directions it may take as daylight, lamps and neighboring colors move around it. Treat the digital swatch as an opening note, then watch a physical sample from morning light through evening lamps.
