INSTRUMENTS
Color theory has measurements.
It barely has instruments.
A measurement hands you a number and asks for trust.
An instrument carries its guarantees with it.
01 · certificates
ILLUMINANT ROBUSTNESS CERTIFICATE
A guaranteed lower bound on
palette discriminability across an
entire illuminant family.
02 · inverse design
SPECTRAL PALETTE DESIGNER
Design reflectance spectra whose
separation survives changes in
lighting and observer.
03 · inverse design
DISCRIMINATION TEST DESIGNER
Optimizes vanishing-design
reflectance pairs for color-vision
testing directly from spectra.
04 · inverse design
ADVERSARIAL ILLUMINANT SYNTHESIS
Finds a physically realizable
light that makes a safe palette
confusable.
05 · audits
COLORMAP TOPOLOGY AUDIT
Certifies which features a
colormap invented or destroyed,
per observer including CVD.
06 · audits
METAMER ATLAS
Sample the metamer polytope and
map where its shape changes across
color space.
07 · audits
SPECTRUM PROVENANCE AUDIT
Flags reflectance curves that look
interpolated, smoothed, or
synthesized rather than measured.
08 · benchmarks
CORRECTNESS SUITE
Metamer confusion pairs, nine
metamorphic relations, and 401
conformance vectors for color
code.
ONE LIBRARY
Every instrument is an MCP tool.
Two engines, required to agree.
