Perceptual Color

PerceptualColor

This library provides Qt GUI components for choosing colors, with a focus on an intuitive and perceptually uniform presentation.

Introduction

The GUI widgets in PerceptualColor are based on the LCH color model, which is known to reflect human perception better than RGB or its variants like HSV. This leads to a highly intuitive user interface that is more user-friendly and easier to navigate. Moreover, the widgets can be used effectively without any prerequisite knowledge of the LCH color model by the users.
