Then there's the algorithm to "colorize" existing elements. You want to keep the various lightnesses the same, but change the color. But changing the color changes the lightness - even colors that have the same lightness. | |

We might not be aware of their existence at all. Another example: infrared and UV have measurable brightness, but are outside our ability to perceive. | |
