chroma=float

  

A number between 0 and 150 for the chroma value of the colors. If specified, this overrides the saturation option.

• 

lightness=range

  

A range of numbers from 0 to 150 for the range lightness values in the wheel. (The default range is 0..100.)

Description

• 

The LCHColorWheel command renders a color wheel in the LCH color space. If a list of colors is provided, circles are drawn on the wheel corresponding to the approximate· positions of those colors in LCH space. For colors given by Color objects or strings, a plot annotation will be created for its point.
