A real-world puzzler - find the pattern!
$begingroup$
This is a bit of an unusual puzzle - one that is purely "real world" :)
My console can produce a load of colours. But I can't find any obvious way to relate the colour to its number.
I'd hoped that some bits would map to some of RGB, but if they do, I can't see how. Obviously red-like colours are at 001, 009, 052, 088. Obviously green-like colours are at 002, 010, 022-024, 028-037. It looks almost arbitrary.
There's got to be a systematic pattern... hasn't there? Surely someone didn't arbitrarily think "Which 255 colours shall we have" and number them 0-255 as they came to mind? But what could it be?
