I’m trying to represent data hashes in a more user-friendly and culturally agnostic way.

Since hashes are hex strings, I thought a more user-friendly approach could be a 2-character shape code (F3), followed by a 6-character color code (AA4F5E).

For easier security, the user would say… Red dog… Blue circle. That’d convey 16 characters of the hash with 2 symbols.
