(...but what's up with Navajo White?!)</p> <p>The mention of color metrics is tantalizing.</p> <p>Suppose I had two colors denoted by a pair of RGB values, and that I wanted to evenly transition between them. Will a plain linear transition in the RGB space look good? Or should I first map the values to some other color space?</p> <p>What if I wished to avoid going anywhere near gray, during the transition? Is that easier to map in another color space? Do I need to compute how "opposite" the two initial colors are, to calculate whether they would otherwise transition through something like gray?</p> <!--break--> <p>acer</p> The latest comments added to the Blog Entry, Application Worksheet: Testing Your Color Knowledge with Maple 15 119592 Tue, 03 May 2011 23:23:58 Z acer acer http://www.mapleprimes.com/maplesoftblog/119578-Application-Worksheet-Testing-Your?ref=Feed:MaplePrimes:Application Worksheet: Testing Your Color Knowledge with Maple 15:Comments#comment119594 <p><a href="http://www.mapleprimes.com/maplesoftblog/119578-Application-Worksheet-Testing-Your#comment119592">@acer</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navajo_white">According to Wikipedia</a> the color Navaho White refers to the background color of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navajo_Nation">Navajo Nation</a> flag.&nbsp; Of course, Wikipedia also claims that the X11 Color name&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chestnut_%28color%29">Indian Red</a> is named after the red laterite soil found in India.&nbsp; Crayola, at least, decdided that the later might be racially insensitive and now calls it "Chestnut".</p> The latest comments added to the Blog Entry, Application Worksheet: Testing Your Color Knowledge with Maple 15 119594 Wed, 04 May 2011 00:07:19 Z John May John May http://www.mapleprimes.com/maplesoftblog/119578-Application-Worksheet-Testing-Your?ref=Feed:MaplePrimes:Application Worksheet: Testing Your Color Knowledge with Maple 15:Comments#comment119646 <p>If you hunger for a bigger challenge, here is a new version of the quiz which allows 4 choices: <a href="/view.aspx?sf=119646/382135/ColorQuiz-new.mw">ColorQuiz-new.mw</a></p> <p><a href="/view.aspx?sf=119646/382093/ColorQuiz_Four.png"><img src="/view.aspx?sf=119646/382093/ColorQuiz_Four.png" alt=""></a></p> The latest comments added to the Blog Entry, Application Worksheet: Testing Your Color Knowledge with Maple 15 119646 Thu, 05 May 2011 18:21:38 Z John May John May
