Yeah, it is obvious. But word "interpolation" isn't to be found anywhere in the text. IMO, having something like "color interpolation in HSL Cartesian space" would make it crystal clear what the tool is about. Als

This is color interpolation. There are others js libraries that does the same thing, but they lack a good interactive tools. But, unlike others tools, this tool exposes the "xyz coordinates". This is exotic.

I've been studying color theory (its harder than you would think) on my spare time; and I did my undergraduate thesis was on posit few years ago. I think using posits may be a good idea to compress the luminosity, but I'm not sure

Posit always have more precision than a IEEE floating with same number of bits because it has more bits for the mantissa. Posit would likely enable to better compression with Huffman encoding.

The posit is a compressed floating point encoding with a flexible data structure with a trade-off of precision (the number of bits after the dot) and magnitude (the absolute value). It uses more hardware because the posit is decoded into a

Thanks for pointing this out. I looked for the domain of fetched resources, and assumed they weren't. It seems they are using, but from their own domain.
