Tauba Auerbach’s RGB Colorspace Atlas
In nature, color is infinite. Within the range of visible wavelengths (~390-750 nm) there is no limit to the gradients that exist between, say, red and yellow. Between every two wavelengths exists another wavelength, and so on, to infinity.
But when printed, using RGB color space as a guide, they can be contained. This is the atlas of all printable colors, in a sense.
