I used to work in a paint lab. Things things that also affect perceived color include:

- Undercoat color

- Number of coats

- Gloss Level

- Size of colored area

- Surrounding Colour

- Combination of tinters used by each brand. (Different tinters can make colours metameric)

- Light Source (Incandescent, D65, LED, Fluorescent)

- Monitor Color Space (sRGB, DCI-P3)

- Color Space / Model used for conversion (Lab, Luv, Lch)

- Colour Difference dE Model Used (CIE76, CMC, CIE00)

- Precision and spectral range of the spectrophotometer used.

Etc

I used to work in a paint lab. You are correct, oklch seems to be based off CIELCh.

Our eyes are much more sensitive to Blue/Violet, and less sensitive to green. There's a bunch of maths behind the perceived responses of our eyes.

If you're interested you can calculate perceived differences in the LCh colorspace using something like CIEDE2000.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_difference#CIEDE2000)

A Rainbow with equal DE between colors would probably look better than this one with equal DL.

The Church FAQ 1 year ago

Oh wow, i never would have made the connection. 'Lock In' was one of my favorite books growing up.

I used to follow the development blogs of the witness. I remember reading somewhere that accessibility was why you can beat the game with only 7/10 sections complete. You can completely skip both the colour puzzles and sound puzzles and still finish the game. Its an interesting compromise.

As someone who is colorblind, you are correct. Those puzzles are just about impossible for me.

I have read 'How to disappear', i don't think it would be very useful here. It's written by two private detectives to help people evade stalkers or family violence. It specifically recommends against breaking the law. In any case it would be a bit out of date by now.

My New Computer 3 years ago

Years ago I had a .bat file on a usb that ran Puppy Linux and Slitaz ISOs inside qemu. Although it didn't have working persistence.

Was a lot of fun, but people are more wary of letting you run random scripts on their pc these days.
