VURD to the third power...

I would like to graph several pairs of RGB triplets (#FFBB99,#000020 for example), but cannot figure out how to do it properly without folding space and time in unfortunate ways.

Any ideas that don't involve six dimensions?

Pairs of colors: RGB for foreground, RGB for background. I might be able do line segments connecting the two points in a 3D-graph...

It's mostly just idle speculation. I've been staring at computer guts too long today. :)

Yeah, line segments was my first thought.

Or if you want to get trippy, plot the first triplet as a point, and then draw the point in the color indicated by the second triplet. It would be tough to interpret but might generate pretty pictures.

Your second suggestion actually might be kind of interesting.
