Triad is my newest bubble universe theme and the first to use a dynamic colormap. I want to explain how it works.
Triad is based on triadic colors -- three colors evenly spaced around the hue wheel. But the three colors are actually narrow ranges of hues, and they shift with time.
I like rotating triadic colors. They're bold and colorful, and less stale than the rotating rainbows many LED projects use.

Less is more in the Triad theme. - fewer hues (see previous post). - fewer particles. Using the alpha channel, the color map turns off 3/4 of the particle sequences. - particles sometime hidden. Also using alpha, the color map fades each particle in and out over time. That makes the display less busy without reducing complexity. 🧵 26/N #BubbleUniverse
