How damn hard can it be to convert a CIELAB color to sRGB

    Converting between color spaces varies between trivial and impossible.

    @Root This is how it looks like btw. Very intuitive system

    @atheist Don’t forget hacking colors.

    Example: get something pure, bright white; the brightest and whitest possible. Get a gray sheet of paper, and place a black rectangle on it. Stare at the black for 30 seconds, then look at the white. You’ll see a rectangle of somehow brighter white.

    You can do this for blue, yellow, anything, and trick your vision into seeing a white than white, bluer than blue, etc.

    You can also see impossible colors by placing large e.g. blue and yellow squares next to one another and crossing your eyes. When you vision is not focusing on a single eye, you’ll see a fascinating bluey-yellow color that is not green. Similar for orange-green, red-blue, yellow-purple, etc. It’s the colors of magic.

    Representing these in a colorspace or response… not possible.
