Show HN: The Average color of Earth based on 20 years of satellite data (landshade.com) 4 points by jcattle 1y ago ↗ HN This is only for land areas. I also made a wordle type game where you can guess the color for a country every day: https://guess.landshade.com/
[–] nashashmi 1y ago ↗ What was your source data for satellite imagery? How were you able to get all year round data for some of these countries?
