Prints a square with a colour determined by a given longitude number.
Things to do next:
- Find a more sophisticated way to manipulate the numbers into something interesting
- Plug into live longitude data online

# first stab at turning a longitude position into a hexadecimal colour, using lorem longitude no.
# numbers actually need some manipulation so that colour differences are visible - split them?
