Is there a version with less pixels? I can still read some of the bigger texts.

you can tell its been photoshopped the colour is off

Naw, Photoshop would've taken like a whole minute. This was whole entire seconds of work finding an existing pixel online somewhere:-P.

If you really want to get fancy, you could compute the average coloration across all pixels from the entire image - but would it be recursively applied, i.e. a progressive pixelation process, or all at once in an efficient (both in terms of computation & memory requirements, plus infinitely parallelizable too!) lossless sliding window algorithm?

Or pick the most common (mode rather than average) pixel color, which looks to be the blueish background? What I went for (uh yeah... on purpose, sure...), rather than average, median, or mode, was the longest continuous stretch of coloration, as in longest length vector from one side to the other. The blue tends to be interrupted by other colors while the brown... uh, holds the highest amount of cocaine?

I like the subtle yet complex statement the artist manages to transmit.

Art can evoke many feelings within the mind of the viewer.

Primarily what I receive from this one is a sense of... "brown":-P.

Thanks but still a bit excessive - resolution doesn’t grow on trees you know

You say pixels, but what you mean is penis.

I ... I admit it. It's penii ~~am~~ all the way down.

Here's the link to the artist's site, with bonus alt text: https://existentialcomics.com/comic/255

Ah update. I was confused for a bit because I could read it just fine and couldn't understand why so many people were trying to read the non-HD image.

My pixel plan only includes 800 pixels for the week. Please try to be more responsible with my pixels in the future.
