This seems true beyond colors. We can tell if 2 political positions are the same or not, but when they *are* different, navigating the difference is a shitshow. Political personalities are like color spaces. Some use L*a*b*, others use HSV, some use Pantone. Most use RGB.

HSV: Right libertarians. It feels legible and “scientific” so it must be true. L*a*b*: Conservatives. There’s vague theories of “natural” embedded in there. RGB: Techies and children Pantone: Purity-testing extremists of any sort.

Interestingly I don’t think liberals have a preferred color model. They use whatever is convenient in a given context. Unqualified mediocre liberals that is. Not classical liberals (that’s basically conservatism, so Lab) or progressive (purist, so Pantone)

I’ve forgotten most of what I knew but L*a*b* is actually quite interesting. You turn subjectivity into objectivity and back. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIELAB_color_space …
