The very first inspiration I ever had for this was based on your "curved simplified map" observable notebook 💜

![Diagram with three sets of color ramps comparing real life paint mixing with digital color models. The first two compare magenta to white and blue to white, the third blue to yellow.
Caption 1: Real paints gain saturation and shift in hue when mixed with white, as exhibited by Quinacridone Magenta (left) and Phthalo Blue (right). These effects are reproduced faithfully by the K–M model, unlike RGB, where colors tend to lose saturation when mixed with white.
Caption 2: Mixing Cobalt Blue and Hansa Yellow in real life vs. in RGB, RYB [Gos- sett and Chen 2004], Subtractive, Subtractive-Additive [Simonot and Hébert 2014] and K–M model. The ad-hoc approaches are unable to match the K–M’s ability to predict the outcome of two pigments mixing together.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:c6b4jhahjjn75k4k2rvhsvyh/bafkreifkpg4gc7uf7eovyqsw6ygrtrdi7na64gdguc5ddjesltaeryxbfi)
