Too Much Color

@keithamus "Because Oklab is "perceptually uniform" (equal distances actually correspond to equal perceptual differences, unlike CIE Lab which is... less okay about that), the numbers come out 1/100th of dE00's. So dEOk's JND is 0.02, not 2.0."

No, perceptual uniformity isn't the reason. It is just that more modern color spaces tend to use 0 .. 1 scales for everything while older ones tend use 0 .. 100

@keithamus Perceptual uniformity means that the ΔE predicts more accurately how far apart two colors are, no matter the whether the distance is small, medium, or large and whether they are similar or different hues and without "no honestly this blue is the same hue as that purple"

@svgeesus oh yeah this was bad editorialising. It used to say "comes out with different numbers" but I compressed the paragraph too hard and came out with wrong facts. Thanks for calling this out!
