I started this sometime yesterday evening and I think we're over fifteen hours at this point. I suspect I chose too many iterations, given the limited number of colors. (15 - technically 16 but the two grays are identical.)

It's at the point where it's kind of hard to tell if it's done. I've forgotten if it beeps or something, and I might not hear it anyway. So I take a picture with my phone and then compare it with what's on the screen when I check back later.

We're getting close.

Not that any of you will ever need to know this, but when you're working with a vendor on a technical support issue, you must keep all correspondence in the same thread.

I'm inclined to just dash off a quick email with a question, and the humans have no context window to work with.

Both ends get frustrated.
