Looking at nonsense.png actually supports the Müller formula. At least to me, the best-looking combinations are exactly the two that should be the best-looking according to the Müller formula. The version you created have color and brightness values that move counter the "natural brightness", and look uglier than the originals, just as the Müller formula predicts.
- jacobolus 11y agoYou missed my point, which was that the example was supposed to show how changes in hue affected whether something would look good, but the example showed dramatically varying lightness and chroma, in addition to the hue differences, thus making the comparison useless as a demonstration of the claimed effect. To make an example showing what the author of these examples wants to show, it would be necessary to keep lightness and chroma consistent from one set of color combinations to another, so that viewers can see the hue differences instead of being distracted by lightness/chroma differences. If the “Müller formula” worked the way the author of these example images thought, then the color combinations at the right side after my lightness switcharound should still be “good looking”, but to me at least, with low lightness contrast, they instead start to look very muddy. Likewise, in my opinion the color combinations at the left of each example are improved dramatically by the increase in lightness contrast, even though they still have low chroma contrast and aren’t exactly my favorites.
