It works just fine in Internet Explorer 10. Wonder what the purpose of the "Sorry, no Internet Explorer" is.
seems its just cool to post things like that without bothering to test if it, in fact, does work.
A bit off topic, but I hope this isn't true: Additionally, there won’t be any new colors years from now. The color spectrum of the future will be exactly the same as it is today. It’s neat to think we already have access to the color palettes of the year 3000. The usual sRGB colorspace used by most of the web is a small fraction of visible colors. Don't get me wrong, it covers most use cases just fine, but it would b…

I just bought Spectrum and I'm really impressed. I've always wanted a tool like this.

All of today's print systems, monitors, etc cover a certain subset of visible colors. I think we can expect the technology to improve toward the year 3000, and there will be new colors that we can't represent today in sRGB. But until then, no, sadly we don't have access to (all) those color palettes.
But hey, the colors we have today are forward-compatible.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
That (quoted) statement is probably wrong (with the uncertainty focused on how the future goes). The Mantis shrimp[1] can see colors in up to 12 dimensions, instead of the pathetic three that we can see. Further, a study done with mice which I can't find now involved implanting mice with the genes for a third type of color receptor, and they grew up being able to distinguish colors in three dimensions instead of two.…
Oh yeah, I was avoiding augmented vision like Steve Mann's headgear, which enables HDR vision as well as making some IR and UV visible. http://spectrum.ieee.org/geek-life/profiles/steve-mann-my-au... New cell types would be awesome, but you can already (very faintly) see polarization of light. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haidinger%27s_brush
I can see it, have done for as long as I can remember. That's super neat!
I always thought it was just an error in my eyes themselves not handling light properly

When I do lighting installations, I always insist on RGBA fixtures so you can get true warm colors – another thing you can't do with RGB displays.
