Every color science and/or accessibility thread trends towards quoting and reinforcing the same gentleman who has blotted out the sun by writing extremely long (and informative!) explanations of color theory on several sites, in service of an extremely flawed conclusion that is fixed by an hour of Mathematica and experience with actual color science.
Now after reading all of the above, I'm painfully aware that I have no idea whether what you just said is true or random BS. :(
Hah, very good ;)
I am betting BS
Can you post links to either the HN threads or color theory sites that you feel are reinforcing the flawed conclusions?
Or even better, some explanations that are more correct, or a reveal of the common flaws?
Read Color Appearance Models 3rd Edition by Fairchild, it covers __everything__.
I think someday soon I'll be communicating about this more widely, we'll see though
