Penumbra is a mathematically balanced color scheme designed in a perceptually uniform color space, with base colors inspired by the natural interplay of sunlight and sky. It separates luminance, chroma, and hue to make the most efficient use of the available color space on standard electronic displays. The palette consists of nine nearly symmetric base colors, which are used to build the main light and dark themes, along with two additional high-contrast dark variants tailored for people...

...Radiance is superior to simpler lighting calculation and rendering tools in that there are no limitations on the geometry or the materials that may be simulated. Scene geometry, materials, luminaires, time, date and sky conditions (for daylight calculations) are specified; spectral radiance (ie. luminance + color), irradiance (illuminance + color) and glare indices are calculated. Simulation results may be displayed as color images, numerical values and contour plots. Radiance is useful for architects and engineers in predicting illumination, visual quality and appearance of innovative design spaces; and for researchers in evaluating new lighting and daylighting technologies.
