Easy to do, and not a large image size. Been there. Done that.

You'll also want to make sure your room illumination is
calibrated for. Viewing the printed product under incandescent
vs fluorescent lighting will result in a color ****ft.

How about this idea, which I learned a long time ago when I was
toying with a 3d rendering program. The book was discussing the
differences between a CAD program and the 3D program. It pointed
out that although you can model objects in the 3D renderer with
the utmost precision of a CAD program, it's not always necessary.
The suggestion was, "if it looks right, it is right".

My point is, you seem to be reinventing a very complex wheel
when all you are trying to do is walk across the room.

Are you sure you need all this precision and balance for your
intended application?

I tend to be a perfectionist myself but there comes a point where
you're just spinning your wheels. (like when I was trying to
come up with a formula to convert wavelength into RGB values
for a spectrum chart)

However, there is always the gratification of learning something
new and gaining understanding.
