You cannot see the million differences. (And I doubt whether the monitors can really produce that many different colours in the real world.) *Trained* human eyes can differentiate between 128 colour tones and 130 saturation values. In the blue spectrum these eyes can percept 16 levels of light intensity, in the yellow spectrum it's 26 different levels. This makes up for 380,000 different perceptible colours. 16-bit colours are quite right for average computer users with colour monitors.
I'd wish GNU Emacs could read my mind so I wouldn't have to type typos!
Is it possible to invent the million names for the millions of theoretical colours? How many years would be needed? Would it be OK to use rather colour blind men for this job? Or should we aspire the maximum and engage sensitive women?
