How to Choose Colours Procedurally (Algorithms)

Colour is surprisingly complex. How colour works is determined by the physics of light and materials, the biology of our eyes and brains, mixed with a bit of psychology.

Although you don’t need to know all about the physics, biology, and psychology of colour vision, it is useful to have some background information (which you can find references to at the end of this article).
