I've been peripherally interested in colo[u]r science for a while, and as a software guy was amazed to discover the complexities of accurately describing and computing color across a not-so-wide range of devices (my LCD screen, your LCD screen, that projector, this printer...).
For example, I was looking for a way to find "perceptual distance" between colours, since the standard RGB rainbow gives more space for green than, say, yellow. Turns out there are colour spaces for that: CIELAB and CIELUV! However, converting between these spaces and RGB is... fun.
(also, a fun way to tick off your illustrator friends is to install F.Lux on their computer)
Thank you for this great library!
