minus-squarebob_lemon@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up16·1 year agoThe problem is that averaging hue makes no sense at all because hue is not a longest scale. If you take a red poster (0) and a blue poster (240), it averages to green. Or take red (0) and red (359), averaging to cyan (180).
minus-squareflying_sheep@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoThe average of 0° and 359° is obviously 359.5°. it’s a radial scale.
minus-squarebob_lemon@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 year agoBy that logic, the average of red and cyan is both purple and lime. Still useless.
