Professor Graham asks: “Should it be the orange light at the end of the dock?”
The answer: It very nearly was.
Start with lime green (top), shift the RBG color values one (byte) step to the left, and the result is Princeton orange (bottom).
Isn’t it fitting that the green light at the end of the dock was just one step away from Princeton orange?
If only it had truly been lime green to begin with.
(Note: Other variations of Princeton orange will yield similar results; for example, https://www.colorhexa.com/f58025 vs. https://www.colorhexa.com/25f580.)
