Rick: I read your message about illegal NTSC colors and it reminded me that
I've seen an article about that subject recently …….<searching bookshelf>
….. Ok, there is an article about it in:
Graphics Gems II
Edited by James Arvo
Academic Press,Inc. 1991
ISBN 0-12-064480-0
III.6
"Television Color Encoding and "Hot" Broadcast Colors"
David Martindale and Alan W. Paeth
pp 147-158
They talk about the problems of converting RGB <-> luminance and color
difference signals and give an algorithm for detecting hot colors. It seems to
be a pretty good article.
