I am writing this for a co-worker. Please atrribute mistakes and
dumbnesses to problems with my transcription
I am new to the world of color graphics and I am writing (or
trying to write) a program to display a color image. I am working on
a Sun 3/160, Sun Os 3.2 - 4.2 BSD, using smalltalk-80, 8-bit RGB.
I have two requests
1) Does anyone have adescription of a good "basic" RGB color table.
My color table can have a maximum of 256 colors in it and I want to
select that group of RGB values which gives a "good" cross section of
colors.
2) I also need an alogorithm that takes a given RGB value and chooses
which entry in the basic color table described above that best approximates
a given color.
Also any suggestions, references, pointers will be appreciated
