Once started down the path of picking colours, forever will it
dominate your destiny!

Colours are selected for a wide variety of criteria and from an
equally diverse number of palettes.  CYMK is preferred for print, RGB
for digital media, whereas there are specific colours that are "web"
friendly.  You need to be able to interpret HTML hex numbers as
colours, alter R, G, B, then on top of that things that don't have
anything to do with the storage of a colour in memory such as hue,
saturation, luminosity.  If you add an alpha channel, that too will
cause some additional work.

If you haven't used photoshop, you might not be aware of it, but
colour is kind of a big thing.  :)  It seems that no matter how many
tools and palettes they have, they keep coming up with new ones.
Interesting,but don't let it dominate your life.  :)

Draw a parallelogram (or square or rectangle, depending on your
preference) then rotate+translate.  Not that hard, even my computer
can do that billions of times per second.  ;-)
