hex code<\/a> , with #00 00 00 being black at one end and #FF FF FF being white at the other end.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe other stacks of paper contained variations of greys in the 16K color range. (The color range can actually extend into the millions. On older computers\/graphics processing hardware, they\u2019d pruned that down to about 256 colors on your screen\u2026 over time that became 32,000 colors, then 64,000 colors and so on and so on and so on .. my Mac can display millions of colors with four or five scaled resolution options.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s the point of the exercise?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Survivors of abuse and trauma are prone to \u201cblack and white\u201d thinking, that is to say, \u201cI like you right up until the point that you do or say something that I don\u2019t like.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And then it isn\u2019t \u201cI\u2019m upset about this thing you said.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s \u201cI don\u2019t like you anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(Mmmmmmhmmm.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I watched this sweet old lady describe the exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She\u2019s adorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I tried to imagine some hateful support group deciding that she was garbage and should be thrown away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I just loved how she basically said \u201cfuck you\u201d and created all of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I teared up a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The point of the exercise was to get the staff to \u201cmatch\u201d shades of grey in the range of millions with the 256 shades of grey in the master sheet and then explain how they are not in fact the same color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOkay, you\u2019re going to explain this one to the other staff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
