Today’s story is about Philips Hue by Signify. They will soon start forcing accounts on all users and upload user data to their cloud. For now, Signify says you’ll still be able to control your Hue lights locally as you’re currently used to, but we don’t know if this may change in the future.

          “hue” refers to a color value in how it differes from other colors (red vs blue), but is separate from “lightness” or “saturation.” a “light blue” may have the same hue as a “dark blue.”

          have you ever seen the color pickers with a giant rainbow circle, and a separate white/black slider? the rainbow circle is for selecting the hue.
