Color-space compositing#

Full figure suite (Kepler SNR, NGC 602, Lab blends, complementary stress test, RYB demo) now lives under Examples:

python examples/compare_colorspaces.py   # light+dark theme pairs → examples/output/
python docs/make_docs_figures.py         # copies into docs/_static/compositing/

Cheat sheet#

Goal	Recommendation
Match classic publications	RGB
Rich overlaps, avoid white clipping	Lab / screen
Strong per-layer hue separation	Lab / max
Paint-like mixing	RYB + white/custom background
Slides with transparency	`combine_background='transparent'` + PNG

Quick visual (RYB vs additive): see the paint-mix figure on Color compositing.
