Can the human eye seriously tell the difference? I'd be interested in some stats...
- lallysingh 17y agoThe eye can see lots more than 262,144 colors. What's the number, 10 mil? Quick googling gave varying results, depending on what's counted as a distinct color (e.g. differences in luminance).
- philwelch 17y agoYes but a 6 bit display accomplishes millions of colors through dithering, and your answer says nothing about whether that kind of dithering could fool the eye. Since all colors on a LCD screen are dithered between red, green, and blue anyway, and the human eye has no trouble handling that, the question is whether a higher level dithering would be similarly undetectable.
- lallysingh 17y agoDithering divides your effective resolution. If you show anything that requires resolution and good color, the artifacts are visible.
- potatolicious 17y agoI'm no color expert but even I could tell the terrible banding issues with gradients on a MacBook's screen. It's extremely apparent as soon as you throw a smooth gradient on screen.
- ynniv 17y agoYes, when next to similar colors - ie, smooth gradients will show banding.
- cabalamat 17y agoI don't suppose you know of a web page with appropraite gradients, by any chance?
