so basically this thread confirms that we're all getting worse color that we can actually see because I guess of some terrible lab measurement that got carried over like gospel? (0.0021 here, on a semi-cheap acer IPS screen)

    > At its core this formula gives you a single number: how far apart two colours look. 0.0 means identical, 100.0 means you're comparing black and white. The magic number to remember is the "Just Noticeable Difference" (JND). For dE00, JND is around 2.0. Below that, people struggle to tell two colours apart. Below 1.0, basically no one can. So anything under 2.0 is "close enough" and anything under 1.0 is "you're kidding yourself."
