Color Squishing, the ancient art of reducing pixels to the bare essentials, is a crucial part of any self-respecting Pixel Squishing Master. In this chapter, we'll cover the basics.
Squishing is not just about deleting pixels, but about creating a sense of presence. Think of it as a digital form of minimalism.
There are only 16 million possible colors, but don't let that fool you. In Pixel Squishing, we only need 3: Red, Blue, and Yellow. Anything else is just noise.
Red is for bold declarations, Blue is for subtle nuances, and Yellow is for... well, for being yellow.
So, you want to start squishing? Here's a simple exercise:
Create a new pixel. Make it 1x1 in size. Choose a color. Squish.
