Introduction to Polyester AI

Color is an unreasonably complex topic. Just when you think you've got it figured out, it reveals a whole new layer of complexity that you didn't know existed.

This is partly because it doesn't really exist. Sure, there are different wavelengths of light that our eyes perceive as color, but that doesn't mean that color is actually a property of that light - it's a phenomenon of our perception.

Digital color is about trying to map this complex interplay of light and perception into a format that computers can understand and screens can display. And it's a miracle that any of it works at all.

Light is technically something called electromagnetic radiation and it has a frequency and wavelength. That wavelength can vary, depending on the energy of the wave. High energy waves have a higher frequency and shorter wavelength, and low energy waves have a lower frequency and longer wavelength.

And just like with Plaid, you still get everything you’d expect: performance tracking over time, comparisons against the SP 500, custom lists and real-time access to stock data, insights, and earnings.

Soon, you’ll even be able to upload a screenshot or statement—our AI will handle the rest.

Whether you’re using an unsupported broker or just want full control, manual portfolios give you the same powerful tools with zero compromise.

Brief explanation about AI portfolio manager

Once again, we need to go back in time to understand how we got here. In the early days of computing, color was not a priority. Monitors were monochrome and most applications were text-based.

The first color displays were developed in the 1970s, but they were expensive and not widely used. It wasn't until the 1980s that color became more common, with the introduction of the IBM PC and the Apple Macintosh.

These early color-capable computers were pretty constrained - memory was scarce and expensive so instead of storing red, green and blue values for each pixel they used a predefined palette of colors.

This approach, known as indexed color, stored a small index value (e.g., 1-bit, 2-bit, 4-bit, or 8-bit) for each pixel, which pointed to an entry in a Color Look-Up Table (CLUT) that contained the actual RGB color definitions.
