Every possible colour. Every colour, a piece of writing.
This is a collaborative art project pairing all 16,777,216 possible RGB colours with original writing. Every shade — from the most obvious reds and blues to the ones with no name at all — can be claimed exactly once. Pick a colour, see if someone's already written something for it, or be the first.

Wait for review
Submissions are checked before they go live, so it may take a little while for yours to appear.
Each colour can only be claimed once — first submission approved wins that shade.
