Re: A hierarchy of color (intensity)?

It seems like Color::Scheme may be of some use here. The effect you want can be realized by varying the hue value in a hue-saturation-brightness color model -- the H in HSB. The only problem is to find an HSB implementation which meets the 1000-discrete-values criteria.

Color::Scheme produces sets of complimentary colors, in groups of 4 to 16. Not quite what I need. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Mmm, you're right about Color::Scheme... not what I thought at first glance... ( ... time passes ... ) Aha! Try Graphics::ColorObject. If you have access to any graphic app that has an HSB (aka HSV, HSL) color picker with sliders, you can see the desired effect by moving the H slider. That effect can be reproduced using Graphics::ColorObject to build a converter and holding the Saturation and Brightness values constant while varing the Hue. -- Marvin Humphrey Rectangular Research ― http://www.rectangular.com	[reply]
