Curious to see whether more recent dithering approaches would produce better results. They don't even have to be more resource hungry than the classic Bayer or Floyd-Steinberg dithers! Interleaved Gradient Noise[0][1][2] comes to mind as an alternative to Bayer, and it can even be approximated quite well with just 8-bit operations! Basically, use the following function to determine your threshold based on pixel position: (x, y) => (142 * x + 79 * y) & 255 And for error diffusion, there are the Ostromoukhov and Zhou-Fang dithering algorithms[3][4], which I also have an JavaScript implementation of on Observable, so you can try it live[5].
