Alright, got it! After getting the RGB data from the colors on the bottom right, it adds up to be
466972
737420
636f6e
766572
742074
686520
And those are ASCII, a converstion of those brings us to this, "First convert the hexadecimal to binary. Then, regroup the bits into chunks equal to our favorite number. Finally, read as ASCII". That leads to this
Most engineers who practive computer science pragmatically repeatedly go with the common practive and leverage ones and zeroes to pen their programs. Generating code like this generally is a pretty well-founded pattern to employ. On the flip side, Bungie is not your typical engineering group. We write programs without ones. Our people do not like the number. Why? Well, there are greater, grander numbers to apply for our wily craft. Mayhapy you disagre, perchance you agree. What matters is that seven is more awesome than one will ever imagine itself to be. And so, we code with ample sevens, not ones. Fact: programs.
Done. Stop the clock.
You might want to add:
" FACT: PROGRAMS PACKED WITH SEVENS ARE MORE AWESOME THAN PITHY PROGRAMS THAT APPLY ONES. ZEROES? WELL, WE STILL THINK
THEY'RE GOOD. PRETTY PALATABLE. WE GRAPPLE WITH ZEROES ALL THE TIME. EVEN NOW. YES. HERE. CAN YOU PEOPLE SEE THEM? RIGHT THERE IN THIS LONG TEXT? PAUSE TO TAKE A LONG LOOK. PER CHANCE THIS HAS BEEN A WILY GAMBIT ALL THIS TIME? WELL, POLISH THOSE THINKING CAPS. YOU HAVE AMPLE NUMBERS TO FIND. HAVE SOME FUN! STAY HAPPY."
I'm better there is more to this challenge. Look at the language "pragmatically repeatly".... "wily gambit" etc.
specifically: "WELL, POLISH THOSE THINKING CAPS. YOU HAVE AMPLE NUMBERS TO FIND. HAVE SOME FUN! STAY HAPPY."
I've been here for over an hour now. There is more to this than what you just said. Don't stop the clock, put your thinking cap on and think! :P
The full text for someone who is interested is:

But that was originally without spaces which is probably a hint unto itself.
