i don't see enough people with one of the best tool improvements i've ever made for reverse engineering, so i had to write a blog post about it!

https://simonomi.dev/blog/color-code-your-bytes/

your hex editor should color-code bytes

@simonomi REHex supports this (off by default), although I think your colour schemes are better than the ones I currently ship with, so I might steal them (they're user-configurable too).
@simonomi quick pass at your scheme using the gradient functionality to reproduce it from the limited default palette in both light and dark mode... suggestions for a name besides "Alice's scheme"? :D

@solemnwarning the full gradient looks really good! i think something like "rainbow" seems a fitting name, but it's not the most exciting :P

one note about your colors though, having 00 be more subtle than the rest is really helpful. if i had to pick just one byte to color, that'd be it!
