After spending the past two weeks dealing with color (tonemapping, gamma correction, blending, interpolation, etc) this is the conclusion I have come to.
It makes me wonder if anybody has a realistic hope of getting colors right. There's so much along every point in the pipeline from source assets to final presentation on screen that can go wrong.
I am also starting to hate that I'm becoming a bit of a neurotic color freak. I already have enough things to be neurotic about, like how you should say "anyway" not "anyways" or how I flinch when people use "good" and "well" incorrectly.
Back to the color issue, there's also this fear of what I don't yet know. Or things seemingly everybody takes for granted but there isn't any material on it. Right now I can't stop thinking that maybe we should blend pixels in HSL, since that color model interpolates better.
Some of the people liking this tweet have written something about color that I have read in the past two weeks. I recognize their names from article bylines and forum usernames. Kinda surreal.
