Title: Truecolor F and B tags NomadNet fork Author: iso Posted the: 08 Mar 2026 08:21 Category: NomadNetwork
Truecolor F and B tags NomadNet fork
i always wondered why micron's color tags are only 4096 colors, so i looked into nomadnet's source code
Turns out, truecolor is supported internally, but the micron parser accepts only the 3 char colors.
After fixing that, i created a pull request and a few months later it was promptly closed, without any explanation. :

Reply: I think Micron is designed to be minimalist. Because it's supposed to work with LoRa, which has low bandwidth.

Reply: I saw your implementation a few days ago and immediately wondered why nobody thought of using base32 for 15 bit color. Specifically the "extended hexadecimal" variant, that just keeps going higher than 0xf. The parser could just switch from 12 to 15 bit if it detects a value over 0xf somewhere on a page. While less precise than 24 bit, it shouldn't increase file sizes as much.
