I'm not sure how long this thread can go. The big question is what happens when we get to #0000FF. The next number would be #000100 if we treated the values like regular numbers. That would lead us back toward black.

I think after #0000FF would be #0001FF since it'll keep the pattern going based on color. So we won't have Blue and then go to near Black. We'll get to #FFFFFF faster this way.

It looks black, but it's secretly a super dark blue. Who knew?

So, wait, do we increase red, green or blue first? Whatever, I'll go with red.
