What happens when crazy artistic types come together with, um, me? Things like visual numbers, which translates numbers to their chosen color counterparts. Go play with it and have fun! I’m so 1337.

Wouldn't it be cooler if it were somehow dynamic, instead of having only 10 basic colours? Perhaps, take the number, and use it to seed a random 3 digit number generator that picks numbers from 0 to 255, and then use that three times to make the colors, instead of being all static. Jeeze. It's cool.. but come on.. you can do better.. it's not l337 yet, not untill it has about 2k lines of code for each little box… hehe
anyway.. cool toy =]
srand(firstNum);
$rand1 = rand(0,255);
$rand2 = rand(0,255);
$rand3 = rand(0,255);
then you build CSS..
 
yea.. i wonder if this will all show up in the comments..

spiffy. now we can write secret color-messages to each other, as long as we only need to talk in numbers.
