Comparison of 'total numeric light output' for RGB colors coming out of FastLEDv2.1 hsv2rgb_rainbow
Raw
ColorPower.1
EXPLANTION: This table shows the total light output for FastLED v2.1's "hsv2rgb_rainbow" function
for a variety of hue, saturation, and value inputs.
Each cell shows the sum of the Red, Green, and Blue values returned from the HSV-to-RGB conversion,
which we could call the 'total numeric light output' for that RGB color.
FINDINGS: For any given saturation and value, the 'total numeric light output' is basically constant
across all hues +/-1, with the exception of yellow and the hues near yellow, which have higher
power output -- by design.
NEXT: A question remains though: does "252,0,0" _appear_ brighter or dimmer than "126,126,0",
or "84,84,84"? They all have the same 'total numeric light output', but that doesn't mean they
have the same _apparent_ brightness.
