This short experiment has shown that I will need to spend quite some time exploring colour morphing (changing the colours over time) and animation effects (by playing with the colour table):

• I’ve implemented the double complimentary colour selection method.
• first complimentary set has 60% chance of being selected (30% each colour), while other set has 20%, as do b&w.
• i’ve set the primary complimentary set to wander over time, and the secondary set to tag along.
• The colour table maintains the same order and the colours change. Because the colour table doesn’t change, it still looks a little static as the same patterns get generated quite often.
• Furthermore the random walk produces the problem of colour flickering where the colour is randomly wandering backwards and forwards.
• I didn’t actually prevent it from choosing black and white, but it doesn’t seem to be necessary, although it is very possible, it is unlikely. I am more concerned about it choosing several greys, or repeating the same colour multiple times in the colour table.

Next:

• Next I want to try sinusoidal movement, perhaps with an offset wave on each component (r, g ,b).
• And I want to try shifting the order of the colour table.

Video to come.
