An arrangement to browse a named collection of colors. I saw a recent Show HN thread on Hacker News, and thought it might look neat with a different definition of 1500+ colors. And then I mapped the colors to a Munsell color system. Black maps to the bottom pole of the sphere, and white to the top. The hue is rotated around the central axis with the saturation increasing from the core.
So here it is: a slice of the color sphere represented as a Voronoi diagram of colors which intersect the hue angle, plus-or-minus a neighbourhood threshold. The current hue angle is on the right half, and the inverse hue mapped opposite the left half. Lighter colors appear towards the top, and darker towards the bottom.
