    Nice. Most of these colors look right to me, but I'm also seeing green, blue and purple? If you're curating colors from the space manually then it's not a problem.

    "Only realistic colors" would be a different problem. And I'm not sure if there's a way to solve that problem without excluding some real colors too.

    (Maybe if the colour selector was a different shape? I don't know much about color spaces.)

      Reducing the R^2 value to ~1.5 excludes skin colors that are extremely blue, green and purple. That seems to be a happy medium between including real outliers and excluding colors like green.
