Alternative to sticky-notes, part II

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

In the last post, we provided a link to Magnetic Pixels, who offers an alternative medium for Heavy Mural.  They currently appear to only offer the “SUPERHERO” set, but this set has a pretty decent color palette.  We’ve taken the time to grab the hex values of their color palette so you can more easily add them to your custom colors.

Top Row:

(hex value in bold, followed by count from image above)

f2ec8a x 25
d2c47b x 50
d09513 x 50
8d4c0c x 25
b3dddc x 50
5dbbba x 150
148ba3 x 125
145968 x 75

Bottom Row:

(hex value in bold, followed by count from image above)

f8beba x 50
f81822 x 175
ca0d2d x 150
740828 x 100
cccdcf x 100
9d9181 x 75
52575a x 75
201708 x 125

And remember, the Magnetic Pixel magnets are only 3/8″ square in size, as opposed to the 3″ square of standard sticky-notes.  So, the conversion (I believe, but someone correct me if I am wrong) is to convert the dimensions Heavy Mural gives you into inches and then divide by 8.  That should give you the size, in inches, of your mural using Magnetic Pixels.

Have fun.
