For FastLED/FastLED#4035 (colour pipeline P1). This implements option 2 from the last analysis on that issue: quantify the legacy corrections as a bound, since the datasheets publish dominant-wavelength and luminous-intensity ranges, not chromaticity.

Method

tools/bound_legacy_correction_accuracy.py propagates each datasheet range into an interval of admissible profiles and scores UncorrectedColor, TypicalLEDStrip and Typical8mmPixel across it under A1:

  • linear-sRGB source (B6/B8)
  • target: Bradford-adapted from D65 to the full-drive white (Y = 1)
  • metric: CIEDE2000 over a black-safe neutral ramp, the primaries and the secondaries

Two assumptions are stated, not taken from the PDFs:

  1. Gaussian emitter spectrum, with the peak solved so the dominant wavelength (about E) matches the datasheet. FWHM is red 15–25, green 25–40, blue 18–30 nm.
  2. Luminous intensity ∝ Y.

Sampling covers {min, mid, max} dominant wavelength × {low, mid, high} FWHM per channel × {min, max} intensity. The CIE 1931 2° CMF payload is pinned by SHA-256 and not redistributed, as with the SK9822 tool.

Results (measured-profiles/LEGACY-ACCURACY-BOUND.md)

  • Under A1, legacy models miss the datasheet budget (median ≤ 3.0 / p95 ≤ 6.0) for every admissible profile in 26 of 27 part/model cells.
  • The admissible median alone spans more than the entire 3.0 budget in 14 of 27 cells. So datasheet ranges cannot pin a derived profile to the A1 budget, which is the numerical reason there are zero admissible derived profiles and why accuracy claims wait on P10.
  • The corrections score worse than UncorrectedColor under A1 because they tint the device white, which relative colorimetry penalizes. A supplementary absolute-colorimetry table, clearly marked as not A1, scores their D65 design intent.
  • Clustering: per-part intervals overlap, so no datasheet-level clustering is defensible.

Tests

tests/test_legacy_accuracy_bound.py:

  • CIEDE2000 matches Sharma, Wu & Dalal (2005) reference pairs to 4 decimal places.
  • A device with exactly the sRGB primaries scores ΔE = 0 uncorrected, which checks the adaptation, target and output paths end to end.
  • Bradford maps white correctly.
  • The CIE hash pin is enforced.
  • With the real CMF table (DATASHEETS_CIE_CSV): the dominant-wavelength round trip holds, a wider emitter is less saturated, and the checked-in outputs match (--check).

python -m unittest discover -s tests: 42 passed, with the CIE table and jsonschema available. check_profile_artifacts.py and the intensity-sensitivity --check pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Added a bounded accuracy analysis for legacy color-correction models across supported LED profiles.
    • Documented ΔE2000 median and p95 results, datasheet-derived uncertainty ranges, and nominal absolute colorimetry results.
    • Updated characterization findings to reflect the new accuracy bounds and clarify limitations of available measured data.
  • Quality

    • Added validation for color-difference calculations, chromatic adaptation, statistical reporting, profile scoring, and report freshness checks.

FastLED/FastLED#4035's second acceptance criterion -- quantify
TypicalLEDStrip, Typical8mmPixel and UncorrectedColor -- had no number,
because the datasheets publish dominant-wavelength and luminous-intensity
ranges, not chromaticity.

tools/bound_legacy_correction_accuracy.py propagates those ranges into an
interval of admissible profiles and scores each legacy model across it
under A1: linear-sRGB source, Bradford D65 -> full-drive white (Y=1),
CIEDE2000 over a black-safe neutral ramp, primaries and secondaries.
Stated assumptions, not datasheet facts: a Gaussian emitter spectrum
whose dominant wavelength (about E) matches the datasheet, with FWHM
red 15-25 / green 25-40 / blue 18-30 nm; luminous intensity proportional
to Y. The CIE 1931 2-degree CMF payload is pinned by SHA-256, as in the
SK9822 tool.

Results (LEGACY-ACCURACY-BOUND.md):
- under A1, every legacy model misses the datasheet budget (median <= 3.0,
  p95 <= 6.0) for every admissible profile in 26 of 27 part/model cells;
- the admissible median alone spans more than the whole 3.0 budget in
  14 of 27 cells, so datasheet ranges cannot pin a derived profile to the
  A1 budget -- the numerical reason there are zero admissible derived
  profiles and accuracy claims wait on P10;
- a supplementary absolute-colorimetry table (not A1) scores the
  corrections' D65 design intent.

Tests: CIEDE2000 against Sharma et al. reference pairs; an sRGB-primary
device scores zero uncorrected; Bradford white mapping; dominant-
wavelength round trip and the checked-in outputs, with the real CMF
table.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds a tool that computes datasheet-bounded ΔE2000 accuracy for three legacy correction models. It adds generated JSON and Markdown results, updates characterization findings, and adds unit and optional data-backed tests.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bound computation and generated results
tools/bound_legacy_correction_accuracy.py, measured-profiles/legacy-correction-accuracy-bound-v1.json, measured-profiles/LEGACY-ACCURACY-BOUND.md
The new tool validates pinned CIE data, builds admissible Gaussian emitter profiles, scores the legacy models, and writes JSON and Markdown accuracy bounds.
Characterization findings
measured-profiles/P1-CHARACTERIZATION.md
The characterization document reports zero runtime-derived profiles and records the new datasheet-bound accuracy results and assumptions.
Computation and CLI validation
tests/test_legacy_accuracy_bound.py
The tests validate ΔE2000, Bradford adaptation, percentile calculations, emitter behavior, CLI error handling, and checked-in output freshness.

The report overstates what its sampled grid proves, and CI does not detect stale generated results. These are bounded documentation and validation risks that should be corrected or explicitly accepted.

verify its CIE_SHA256, set DATASHEETS_CIE_CSV, and execute
tests/test_legacy_accuracy_bound.py in the CI test command so
RealColourMatchingTest runs and validates both checked-in outputs via

In `@tools/bound_legacy_correction_accuracy.py`:
- Around line 465-467: Update the explanatory wording in the tool around
evaluate and its generated Markdown/characterization outputs to describe the
finite sampled grid: dominant wavelength {min, mid, max} × FWHM {low, mid, high}
× intensity {min, max} per channel. State that nominal uses midpoint intensity,
which is not included in the sweep, and that reported ranges and verdicts apply
only to sampled profiles; change both verdicts to “every sampled profile.”

Review follow-up on #12:
- The tool scores a grid (each range's ends and midpoint), not the
  continuous datasheet ranges. Wording is now "at every sampled profile"
  and says the grid is an inner bound, not a proof over the continuum. The
  spread claim is unaffected in direction: a sampled spread can only
  understate the continuous one. Intensity is now sampled at min/mid/max,
  so the nominal profile is one of the grid points. Headline counts are
  unchanged (14/27 spreads exceed the budget; 26/27 cells outside budget at
  every sample).
- Add .github/workflows/tests.yml. No test in this repo ran in CI; it now
  fetches the CIE table, verifies its pinned SHA-256, runs the full suite
  with DATASHEETS_CIE_CSV set, and --checks every checked-in artifact.
