Readers added context they thought you should know:
Okay, let’s actually break this down.
The first image is a scene from SpongeBob season 2, the first one to use digital animation. The second image is a scene from SpongeBob season 16, the most recent season.
In the first image, SpongeBob’s colour is #DDCC13 (DEC 14,535,699). In the second, his colour is #FFED13 (DEC 16,772,371). Considering that “Absolute Yellow” is defined as #FFFF00 (DEC 16,776,960), it is clear that SpongeBob has gotten considerably yellower over time.
This implies that SpongeBob, as a baby, was significantly less yellow than he is now. SpongeBob was born on July 14, 1986, making him 39 years old. Season 2 aired in 2000, which means that he gets yellower by DEC 89,467 yearly. Therefore, when SpongeBob was a baby, he would be approximately this colour:
Not really yellow. More of a beige. Therefore, it can be inferred that, as a baby, SpongeBob had some kind of “Reverse Jaundice”, where his skin is unusually less yellow than normal, likely due to an incredibly powerful liver (which also explains how he can eat so many Krabby Patties.)
Since SpongeBob lives in the ocean, one can assume that he is properly hydrated and therefore his pee is of a yellowish hue. In a similar mechanism to excessive beta-carotene, some chemical in his Sponge-Piss must be able to turn him increasingly yellow year after year.
However, if he continues to drink piss at this rate, he will die next year, as his colour will reach DEC 16,866,427, which is above the six hex-digit range for colours (DEC 16,777,216).
Truly, a life cut too short.
