It should be simple enough to implement in HTML - it looks like it's just doing (seconds since midnight × 16777215 / 86400), converting to hex and using that as a colour. Toggling between "clock" and "colour" mode would be a bit more difficult, but doable.

Anyone feeling up to the challenge?

Here's my attempt: http://brisy.info/colors It treats each section of the time as a hex pair, see colors.js for implementation.

edit: Hours corrected. Thanks wladimir

Nice! One small correction: ((h / 60) * 255) should be ((h / 24) * 255) probably
