This is great work. I love how the result is a representation of maximally saturated colors that correctly depict perceptual lightness of what those maximum saturations are. You can get a little palette out of that which contains 'all colors' but which makes intuitive sense in a way that traditional representations don't.

It's like fitting maximum saturation into a palette that's more linear. From canary yellow you don't HAVE a lot of room to go to pure white: there's very little difference. And it translates to very little linear space between the points. So nice.
