A Surprising Proposal: HWB

[Max P]

Hi, dmstraker,
Your links is very interesting
HWB seems more instinctive.
Maybe we can imitate him
with W = min (R, G, B), B =1- Max (R, G, B),

Hi @Max P Yes, that's the one. I'm tinkering with a Procedural Texture macro for it, which may appear some time on my YouTube InAffinity channel. Conversion is easy enough (using easyrgb website algorithm for RGB to and from HSV).  Current puzzles include what to do when you change a value -- eg increasing W, do you compress B and/or central hue region.
