Let's have some fun! What can you "paint" in Smartsheet using conditional formatting?

I'm running a "Smartsheet Art Challenge" and you're welcome to join in!

Ok this was my first attempt to recreate my favorite guitar, my Schecter Hellraiser C1 FR-S. It was tricky with the limited color palette, but I kinda like the limitation because it forces you to make it simple.

I found it easier to use numbers in my cells instead of the name of the color. So instead "red", i just put "1", "2", "3", and "4". This made it easy for me to quickly switch between the colors to see what I liked the most.

It was really fun, and surprisingly meditative!

@SSFeatures That's amazing! Much more involved than my Christmas tree!

I actually was initially using numbers like that too, but I thought for the video it would be easier for others to grasp the concept.

I guess this could be pitched as a stress reliever too or an assistant to better meditation haha.

Thanks for sharing!

@Darren Mullen - I can say with absolute confidence that your SSFeatures browser extension is every effective!

I gave it a solid road test with the need for a 16 colour conditional formatting set of rules across 111 columns to create a masterpiece that I am going to name - "There is Nothing 16-Bit About These Amazing Champions"

I "may" have enlisted the help of another spreadsheet platform for the initial design which has an alternative colour palette giving the following:-

@Protonsponge I love this. We look like Nintendo characters from Tecmo Bowl or Mega Man. A spitting image.

@Marcela @Gabe Cordoba Wow, both of you did well as far as I'm concerned!

Really great way of using multiple colors and shades.

Easy to tell that you made a flower and the Jin Jang :)
