Looks fine to me

Here you will find colourmatch, which takes a selected colour and gives you other colours that go well with it. I'm most impressed by how well it works - and I wonder what this tells us about the way the human eye/mind perceives colours.

Ah. So 5 would be the max, would it not? Again, at least for pigment. (well unless you want to get all metallic...).

Are you saying that there are colours that you can't represent in RGB?? That seems right. The 3 colour CRT/LCD system is inherently not as flexible as the more analogue pigment colour system.

Well, five is the most I've dealt with. More may be possible, I'm not sure.

There are indeed colours that can't be represented adequately by RGB. Gold is a good one, although you can make a good approximation.

The colour space I ended up dealing with was designed to closely map human perception of colour. It was sodding horrible.
