New Posts and New Sandbox Posts are chatbots that occupy CGSE's main chatroom, The Nineteenth Byte. They've been doing their jobs for almost one full year now, so I thought I'd make a challenge to honor their contributions!

The challenge is simple: Draw the profile picture of either New Posts (NP) or New Sandbox Posts (NSP). Your program must take as input a boolean value, and draw NP's profile picture if true and NSP's profile picture if false. (They're identical except for the color difference.)

Here are the images you need to output:

New Posts' profile picture; a blue pixel-art cloud with "CGCC" written on it

New Sandbox Posts' profile picture; same as New Posts', but black instead of blue

The colors of each image should be #0093E8 (NP) and #000000 (NSP). If your language is unable to output that exact shade of blue you may use the closest equivalent. The background may be white or transparent.

The image can be saved to a file or piped raw to STDOUT in any common image file format, or it can be displayed in a window.

    \$\begingroup\$ Also, what's the allowed input format? Presumably it doesn't have to be true or false since not all languages have that? I'd recommend going with the reverse of the normal decision problem rules: allow truthy/falsy, falsy/truthy, or any two consistent values. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ What if the closest color to the blue and black are the same? \$\endgroup\$

Outputs a PPM image. The image is run-length encoded in the variable s.

The boolean input is given via the number of arguments (basically corresponds to argc % 2).
