Although variations of color are theoretically unlimited, we rely on the perceptual discriminative power of the human eye. Surprisingly, the method gives access to a remarkable degree of detail (well above what is expected with a "manually" defined color code). In addition, a focus on a small region of the data is always possible by an ad hoc local color reallocation. Similarly, Colorphylo may be adapted to fit color-impaired users' requirements. The 2-dimensional color-space can be modified at will according to any desired effect, including of course satisfaction of the user's color perception.
