I was able to do this. The result is colors that are kind of dull and 
muted. Is there a way to brighten them up?

Also, I don't understand why I can color each triangle by converting XYZ 
to RGB and have the result look okay, but when I try to do the same 
thing with a function the result is messed up (unless I follow your method).

Weird.
