Lacks oblique sections through colour space

I am developing the concept that colour space can be used as a to store linquistic concepts in a Hexadecimal data model. It is similar to LAB but does not distort the plane from red to cyan as sevely. Therefore Your tool was interesting but lacked the ability to create oblique seltions through the RGB colour cube (simply achieved as a gradient from 4 corners) and therefore was not helpful.

The objective is to find a more intermit relationship between Presentation using Varchars and data using bits, integers and Hexadecimals. Colur is used as it invokes meaning and values more dirrectly than numbers thus acting as a bridge between common sense language and mathematics.

In my current project mousing over a graduated cloloured square gives a description of the RISK, CONSEQUENCES and LIKELIHOOD of an event occuring.



By clicking the panel the Hazard level is recorded which can trigger the system to get standard OH&S documents (e.g. SWMS).



The colours are based on the following theory:



This Matrix has an aray of 25 graduated panels indicating the level of RISK (or hazard)using RGB colours as a visual guide.

the rows indicate the CONSEQUENCE (or severity)of an event occurring and the columns the LIKELYHOOD (or probability)of such an event.



For example, the CONSEQUENCE of a collision at a traffic intersection are always the same(resulting in fatalities).

However, the LIKELIHOOD of an accident occuring if almost 'certain' when you pass through a 'RED' light whilst

a collision rarely happens when you pass through a 'GREEN' light but if it did the CONSEQUENCE would be high.

If the lights are 'amber' (dark Yellow) the possibility of a collission is midway(ish)between these extremes.

Thus, the range of LIKELIHOOD is presented as an increase in RGB GREEN and simultaneously RGB RED is retuced.



Similarly, the CONSEQUENCE of an event is presented as a gradient from blood RED to a less severe or calm BLUE.

Should both the CONSEQUENCE and LIKELIHOOD of an event be simultaneously be reduced then the extreme furtherest

from RED is reached, a benign AQUA (cyan). This represents a situation like driving at low speed on a freeway

in a very safe ambulance with no other traffic where a collission is impossible and only slight injury envisaged.



Diagonal movement from bottom left to top right indicates decreasing levels of RISK from 'certain catastrophe' to 'slight consequences that rarely' happen.

In the legend I have described this as increasing ‘Safety’ because the numbers get larger from 1 to 5 and it sounds more positive.

The area in the centre is a grey area and presented as the MIDGREY midway between RED and AQUA levels of RISK.
