Oh dang, I wish I had seen that, lol. It doesn't look like theirs does named colors though *clings to relevance. Thanks for posting that.

- danbruc 8y agoIt also misses HSV and HSL. And a ton of other things if you aim for completeness. Not long ago I was tempted to write my own library but stepped away from it after a few days of research into colorimetry and realizing how deep that rabbit hole is.
- kazinator 8y agoThe focus here seems to be on perceptually relevant representations, plus RGB (hardware-relevant). HSV is just a rearrangement of RGB for improved color picking dialog boxes, not for any serious computation with color.
- danbruc 8y agoI just mentioned them because they are in the ops library but not Colourful .NET, not because they are especially important. In the end all color spaces and color representations are just means to represent electromagnetic spectra, most of the time only a subset and most of the time lumping together different spectra into equivalence classes. And they all have their uses, they all make certain things easy and other things hard.
- nobody271 8y agoIt's funny how you learn about colors in Kindergarten and think you pretty much go it. Then you go to program with them and instantly get hit with intense math.
