Sorry, a little misunderstanding here. The images were by me; the 
technique was yours ;-)

Probably what Yadgar mentioned. Must have been around July 2008...

By using eval_pigment perhaps, or a pigment function, to evaluate the 
colour, then using the result to change the colour of the individual 
cones in the spiral...?

Yes! Excellent!

I wondered earlier, in my answer to Kenneth here, if it would be 
possible to tint differently individual cones in a spiral? That way only 
one spiral would be needed, but I guess that is not allowed.

It worked! That is really cool.

I half-thought that the solution might be to simply scale each successive spiral
slightly larger. But instead, it looks like each spiral begins (in the center)
at 120-degree rotations from each other. Great! I imagine that *more* than 3
colors could be used with the same technique, by simply dividing-up the
rotations differently (and making the spirals appropriately thinner, maybe.)
Like, 6 spirals-colors would use 360/6 rotation adjustments.

Wow.  I think that works really well.  If you look closely, you just see 
red, green and blue but an overall glance gives you subtle shades of 
color.  Cool!

Right, I saw this effect a while ago, and hadn't gotten around to posting it.
Now it seems like it might have some utility to inspire some experimentation.

Pretty cool effect / illusion.

I wonder if all 3 spirals could be coincident or layered with rgbf pigments.

Also wondering what a single spiral of closely arranged spheres would look like
with full rgb pigmentation of each individual sphere...

Turns out it wasn't so difficult.

The file sizes for these things are tricky.  Quite often, the PNGs are
smaller than the JPEGs, though I can /sometimes/ get the JPEGs smaller
by using compression 75.
