    LOL, that would actually be an interesting novelty app for smartwatches. Have it like fade throughout the rainbow based on the time of the day to represent time.

    It would really mess with people’s heads at parties if you could just look at a solid single color screen and ballpark the time 😂

      This could actually be a really good idea for someone with a disability that makes reading a traditional clock difficult. Someone with dyslexia, for example. Maybe rather than a slow changing gradient, the color could fill in a portion of the face as the hour goes on. They’d set up a color for each hour, and after a short while of getting used to it they should be able to very quickly read the time.
