Thanks! That's very kind of you :)

Yeah indeed, well, hsl with varying hue and set saturation + luminescence - see https://github.com/lorenzo-stoakes/Rainbow-Sort/blob/master/....

I experimented with RGB and it really didn't work, HS(B/L) work a million times better. Took a bit of trial and error!

I'm going to experiment with HSL and see if I can get it to work. Thanks again!
