This will doubtless be an unpopular comment, but the "Do not" imperative at the bottom of the page was super jarring to me. I really don't appreciate random websites trying to tell me what to do in such a direct imperative tone, and would never write like that even if it were my intention; not to mention that it doesn't actually prevent anything.

Pity, because it was a nice article.

I was thinking about how I'd go about it, and I think first I'd Hilbert sort the colours in something like OKLab space, then generate a PDF from this using Just Noticeable Diff weights, then sample that PDF using something either uniform regular or golden ratio samples (must be monotonically increasing).

Yes, the "Do not" imperative feels so bossy and unnecessary; the people who need to hear it don't care / won't heed it, and the rest of us were directly instructed not to do something (which we weren't even remotely interested in doing anyway) just because we happened to read a blog post all the way to the end.

I know it's a small thing but the tone really does bug me; consider if I would put a trailer to this Honestly Just Another Random Ass Comment On The Internet:
