From a reduced set of experimental measurements, we have developed an algorithm that generates a mosaic of color discrimination ellipses, densely covering the region of the chromaticity diagram defined by the phosphors of a CRT monitor, with minimum overlapping between ellipses and leaving the minimum uncovered space. To test how well this mosaic covers color space, a set of digital color images has been filtered with it and the resulting palette reduction analyzed.
