# Chroma-Changing Time-Tellers The Colour Clock is Represented by a Hexadecimal Color Value By Meghan Young | Published 2011-02-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colour-clock References: [neatorama](http://www.neatorama.com/2011/02/22/the-colour-clock/) & [thecolourclock](http://thecolourclock.co.uk/) The Colour Clock is a web timepiece that [changes color almost like a chameleon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chameleon-workplace). But instead of adapting to its environment, the clock is created so that each second, minute and hour is simply represented by a different [hexadecimal color value](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everyhexcodes). Designed by Jack Hughes, the Colour Clock changes quite gradually and seems to recycle similar colors, but only over a certain period of time. If you choose to save it as your [desktop screen saver](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taoclock), it will surely add a bit of vibrancy to your home and/or office. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Chromic Time Displays:** The trend of time displays that change color in a chameleon-like manner, offering a unique visual experience. - **Hexadecimal Time Representations:** The trend of representing time using different hexadecimal color values, adding a creative twist to traditional time-telling methods. - **Gradual Color Cycling:** The trend of clocks that change colors gradually over time, creating a mesmerizing and ever-evolving display. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Web Design:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation in web design by incorporating chromic time displays into interfaces for a visually engaging user experience. - **Digital Art:** The potential for disruptive innovation in digital art by exploring the creative possibilities of hexadecimal time representations, pushing the boundaries of traditional art forms. - **Interior Design:** Innovative opportunities in interior design by incorporating clocks with gradual color cycling, allowing for dynamic and visually captivating decor elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flowing Light Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crydal-scroll-clock.md) - [Kinetic Pattern Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moir-clock.md) - [Alternative Time Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dozen-clock.md) - [Retro Digital Flip Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flip-clock1.md) - [Rainbow Illumination Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alarm-clock-concept.md) - [Color Coding Daily Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hexcodle.md) - [Snowglobe-Inspired Dynamic Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-to-snow.md) - [Color-Shift Chronographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/defy-extreme-chrom.md) - [Flippable Cubic Timer Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ticktime-cube.md)
