Schiller, a WebGL library for colours made of light
A zero-dependency WebGL library that renders structural colour through thin-film interference and diffraction gratings, on flat artwork or Three.js materials.
Why it surfaced
Schiller treats colour as a surface phenomenon rather than a pigment, then demonstrates the idea across 19 named specimens, from a tea bowl and scallop to a vinyl record, pearl button, mirror ball, and cold can. It is both a technical library and a small cabinet of optical curiosities.
