Bruce Lindbloom and Color

Color Science is a complex topic that can be hard to find documentationfor without purchasing books. For those on a budget, Wikipedia and Google can turn up some useful information, but there are often glaring omissions, inaccuracies, or questions left un-answered.

Luckily, Bruce Lindbloom has compiled an excellent website (brucelindbloom.com) full of Color Science information, calculators, and examples. Of particular use are some of the following:

• CIE Color Calculator - Conversions between color spaces.
• Useful Color Equations - Conversions, Delta E, misc. other equations.
• Delta E (CIE 2000)

While a lot of the material is a bit hard to get into without a basic understanding of color, it’s definitely worthwhile to pick through if you’re in the Graphic Communication industry (or are just curious about the topic).

Color Error Threshold Calculator

In preparation for inclusion in a Clemson GC project, I’ve brought myColor Error Threshold Calculator over to the new site. This, like my site, will be made available under the GPL once I have a chance to clean it up a little bit. More on this later, but you’re welcome to check it out by following the link earlier in the post.

Site Source Available

I have made the source for the CMS/Blog that powers this site availableon Google Code in the hopes that someone out there will find it useful. It’s not very well commented at this time, but it’s fundamentally sound code and serves as a decent example of things. This is mostly to help make it easier for me to track revisions, but there’s no harm in GPL’ing it.

The source is located on the greg-cms Google Code project (creative name, yes?).

Site Re-Design

Under harassment from friends and a professor or two, I finallyre-designed my page. You will notice a new look, and some extra functionality floating around. The back-end is now Django instead of static HTML. This will allow me to make some of my tinkerings available for view on here.

Things will be in a state of flux for a while as I get the kinks worked out. If you notice any oddities, feel free to email me.
