No!

What is a spherical Colorspace then?

Goethe found a S1 symmetry published in 1810 theory of colors

Can we find S2?

Potential for Research

What different dimensions of spheres can we find color

symmetries in?

What do rotations look like in these new spaces?

What are the equivalent of the color symmetries from the circle?

Potential Approaches

Re-Learn the simple parameterization that was used to find

OkLAB but with an auxiliary loss for spherical symmetry.

​

Learn an auto encoder that compresses the color of images to a spherical latent space.
