The only claim to superiority it makes is gradients, and that's a category error: they blend polar opposite hues in the Cartesian space (i.e. x / y / z), rather than polar (i.e. h/s/l). Opposite hues mean lerp'ing in cartesian brings it through the center of the circle, 0 saturation. Thus, blue and yellow do combine to a off-white. Engineering around it indicates something fundamentally off, much less that it is better. I don't ascribe ill intent but I do worry very much about how widely this is misunderstood.
"A number of IMO participants have gone on to become notable mathematicians. The following IMO participants have either received a Fields Medal, an Abel Prize, a Wolf Prize or a Clay Research Award, awards which recognise groundbreaking research in mathematics; a European Mathematical Society Prize, an award which recognizes young researchers; or one of the American Mathematical Society's awards (a Blumenthal Award in Pure Mathematics, Bôcher Memorial Prize in Analysis, Cole Prize in Algebra, Cole Prize in Number Theory, Fulkerson Prize in Discrete Mathematics, Steele Prize in Mathematics, or Veblen Prize in Geometry and Topology) recognizing research in specific mathematical fields. Grigori Perelman proved the Poincaré conjecture (one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems), and Yuri Matiyasevich gave a negative solution of Hilbert's tenth problem."
