Digital Color

Difuminado (Dithering)

Una técnica que simula colores fuera de una paleta limitada intercalando píxeles de colores disponibles para crear la ilusión de tonos intermedios.

Dithering arranges pixels of two or more available colors in patterns that the eye blends at a distance, perceiving a color that is not actually present in the palette. Common algorithms include Floyd-Steinberg (error diffusion) and ordered dithering (using a Bayer matrix). Dithering was essential in the era of limited color palettes (8-bit and 16-bit displays, GIF format) and remains important in certain contexts: reducing file sizes in GIF and PNG images, printing with limited ink colors, and creating a retro aesthetic. In modern design, dithering is occasionally used deliberately as a stylistic choice for texture and nostalgic visual effect.
