Sudokulor: the color pallet of Sudoku puzzle

Sudoku is a famous puzzle about playing around number. The rule is to make every column and row filled with number 1 to 9, also every 3 by 3 block in the puzzle.

When I looked at the big matrix which it turned out to be every now and then, I reminded of the colormap, in which the color can be indicted by number within 1 to 9. One thing very interesting in this attempt is to pick three numbers from 1 to 9 can stand for almost all colors, and the given rule in Sudoku is actually limiting columns, rows, 3 by 3 blocks to be several color matrix where we can find all of the color existing.

Note:

I picked six Sudoku puzzles and aligned three of them to one 9 by 9 by 3, three dimensional matrix, therefore, every point can make one RGB color.
