Gah! Why is colour so hard? Back in the day I'm sure cmyk to rgb was easy, but now it's all "it depends"...

I guess (a) devices started being able to represent lots of colours, so the idea of machine-controlled 'accuracy' arose, then (b) a huge accretion of 'knowledge' meant all programs dealing with colour had to account for the possibility of being used as the input to a vastly-sophisticated multi-millions press, rather than just throwing any old thing into a bitmap to be displayed on a device that has never been, and never will be,

Shinmera: I get no-applicable-method, with colored:convert [thing created with colored:cmyk c m y k] 'colored:rgb (:

Shinmera: fair enough. The super-naive don't care version is easy enough for even me to write. colored will help with the hard bits (:

A sufficiently low-bandwidth channel with chroma encoded in-band is indistinguishable from colour.

When you recompile a function in Emacs with C-c C-c, how is it decided which package to bind the function in? SLIME/SBCL seems to know if there's an (in-package ...) earlier in the file and uses that package.

I thought that maybe it would search back through the file for the previous (in-package ...).

But it does not bind the function in a package. It just sets the *PACKAGE* variable so that READ can do the right thing.
