    \$\begingroup\$ You call a big grey blob "beautiful"? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 26, 2014 at 2:39

    \$\begingroup\$ @Doorknob Yes. I call it very beautiful. I find it amazing that all the colors can be arranged into a big grey blob. I do find the blob more interesting when I zoom in. With a little bit more detail, you can see how un-random Java's rng is. When we zoom in even more, like the second screen-shot, it becomes clear how many colors are in that thing. When I zoom even further, it looks like a Piet program. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 26, 2014 at 3:05
  • \$\begingroup\$ I got the colors in smaller versions by dropping the lower bits. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 26, 2014 at 6:29
  • \$\begingroup\$ Yes, the lower bits for r, g and b separately, but I was dealing with them as one number. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 26, 2014 at 6:35
  • \$\begingroup\$ I see you have figured out teh b1t magicz in your next answer. On topic, it might be interesting experimenting with your own Random subclass that produces even less ideal random numbers. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 26, 2014 at 6:38
