There is this tendency towards scientism in digital colour theory, which sticks out because I noticed myself doing it in a related project. Nothing inherently wrong with that, but don’t forget that the science is trying to measure our perception. I don’t think we should be overly concerned if we sometimes rely more on our actual perception than an attempt to measure it.
