I have to disagree with you on most of the above. You cannot expect students who want to learn how to code to also learn about the DOM and write things like path DOM nodes by hand. This library is made to abstract DOM-specific functionality into something that they know from known and tested tools like Processing. There is a world of difference between writing SVG's by hand (or generating them in pure JavaScript) and using Rune.js. Just try to write the following example in pure JS, and I'm sure you'll see what I mean:
I agree that CIELAB is a very useful color model, which is why I also teach the difference in my class. But HSV is a great way to move away from rgb(255, 255, 255), and I've had nothing but success using it over the last 5 years in my graduate classes.
