A07. Digital Color Mathematics

Five connected studies move digital color mathematics from direct observation and explanation through controlled experiment, application and critique. Five active studies connect evidence, experiment, application and critique.

Observe → Understand → Experiment → Apply → Critique and record

• Normalized RGB

  Begin Digital Color Mathematics with normalized rgb: observe directly and record the conditions before interpreting the result.

• Transfer Functions

  Within Digital Color Mathematics, build a working explanation of transfer functions, keeping the model distinct from the appearance it describes.

• Linear-Light Operations

  In Digital Color Mathematics, test linear-light operations by changing one controlled variable and comparing the evidence.

• Quantization and Banding

  Apply quantization and banding within Digital Color Mathematics to a practical color decision, preserving both the reasoning and its constraints.

• Premultiplied Alpha

  In Digital Color Mathematics, critique premultiplied alpha against evidence, exceptions and failure conditions before carrying it forward.
