I was thinking just a few days ago about this.
If I only have a certain amount of color in plastic beads, and I want to convert a photo to plastic bead image, is it possible to get the best colormatch for the beads available and not the colorspace of the image? I guess one just loads a color table with the available bead colors one has?
