A digital color clock employs six Color Outputs to represent the time of day. A first Color Output represents a tens digit of hours, a second Color Output represents a ones digit of hours, a third Color Output represents a tens digit in minutes, a fourth Color Output represents a ones digit in minutes, a fifth Color Output represents a tens digit in seconds, and a sixth Color Output represents a ones digit in seconds. The digital color clock can optionally display the date, temperature, humidity, and/or barometric pressure using Color Outputs. Front and back light sensors can be included for measuring brightness of ambient light to enable adjustment of Color Outputs in response to changes in brightness of ambient light. In one embodiment, the Color Outputs are interspersed among other unchangeable Color Outputs of a display. The display can be a component of a stationary or hand-held computing device.
