As much as I like this pattern, I really need to rewrite it to use FastLED palettes.

Here’s another of my favorite patterns in Aurora. This one was inspired by “Rainbow Smoke” by Jozsef Fejes: http://rainbowsmoke.hu

Actually… This pattern uses 1,024 unique colors, arranged in different orders. FastLED palettes only supports 256 different colors, right?

Yes, the palettes have 256 entries, a choice of 16 million colors for each. In this case you’d be using it not to show more colors at once, but to generate a different color scheme each time, and over the course of multiple fill/erase cycles, you’d showcase many many more colors overall.

Also, you could crossfade from one palette to another as you draw more pixels :slight_smile:
