Picking color from L*a*b parameters #61

Closed kimtore closed 6 years ago

kimtore commented 6 years ago

First of all, this is hands down the best color picker I could find. It is responsive and feature-rich, thanks for your good work.

I am making a frontend to a LED lamp, and came looking for a way to select a color using L*a*b parameters. This project seems like a very good fit for my use case, especially because of the intuitive and fast interface. My problem is that I can't find a way of actually using the L*a*b space for picking out colors, it seems that only RGB, HSL and HSV are supported.

Can you offer some help in this regard?

Hi @ambientsound Kim, thanks for the flowers ;o) Unfortunately I only support the input / output of Lab but not the visual support as it is very complex to do with simple web technology (back then, as I also wanted to support IE5.5). I could probably do it with or so but this would totally explode the project as I wanted it to keep small and simple. Rendering RGB is already a challenge for most color pickers. Good luck though with your project.

Hi, and thanks for your reply.

Your priorities make sense. It seemed to me like a small feature addition, I was not aware that it is so complex. Thanks anyway, I will re-think my approach.

Have a good day :)
