Use a better measure of 'color distance'? #5

Closed sebastiansturm closed 3 years ago

sebastiansturm commented 7 years ago

autothemer currently uses RGB differences as a measure of color similarity, but there are probably perceptual color measures out there that yield better / more intuitive results

jasonm23 commented 7 years ago

LAB/CIE color is a better model for perceptual color modelling.

HCL is slightly easier to work with than LAB/CIE and offers a useful way to work with color distance.

could you please check if the lab-color branch works for you? If so, I'll merge the updated readme afterwards, thanks!
