The Unbereable Insolence of Prime Numbers or (Playing to be Ulam)

So rock me mama like a wagon wheel, rock me mama anyway you feel (Wagon Wheel, Old Crow Medicine Show)

This is the third iteration of Hilbert curve. I placed points in its corners. Since the curve has beginning and ending, I labeled each vertex with the order it occupies:Dark green vertex are those labeled with prime numbers and light ones with non-prime. This is the sixth iteration colored as I described before (I removed lines and labels):

Previous plot has 4.096 points. There are 564 primes lower than 4.096. What If I color 564 points randomly instead coloring primes? This is an example:

Do you see any difference? I do. Let me place both images together (on the right, the one with primes colored):

The dark points are much more ordered in the first plot. The second one is more noisy. This is my particular tribute to Stanislaw Ulam and its spiral: one of the most amazing fruits of boredom in the history of mathematics.

This is the code:
