Think bigger. Maybe things that businesses build are not the right things?

For psychological impact use of "brightness", yes. For judging contrast against e.g. text for legibility in a design?

The intention is that colors of the same number have a similar luminance, so you can easily adjust contrast and hue independently while designing. These schemes also keep a relatively consistent saturation profile across the palette. It&#x2

It's clearly and intentionally more vibrant , which can be a synonym for "brighter", but no, it does not seem particularly more luminant . Squinting very hard may help you see this. Another way is to overlap the two colors

As you develop as a human, you start to understand that legal/illegal is often not a black-and-white thing. There is the obviously legal, and widely practiced. There is the obviously illegal, and clearly enforced. And there is a huge g

The visual “knee” is purely a result of your chosen scale; there is no scale-independent mathematical definition. Put it on a log/log chart, and it’s a straight line; no part of the growth is qualitatively different than any other.
