Color Dithering
LUGNET’s Mosaic Maker supports two color selection methods: Solid Regions
(where no explicit mixing or “dithering” of colors occurs and any errors in
individual colorings are simply ignored) and Error Diffusion Dithering
(where small errors in colorings are propagated or “diffused” to nearby
locations to compensate). For example:

Which looks better? It’s really a matter of personal preference. It also
depends heavily on the image you use and the visual effect you want to achieve.
Some images look better with solid colors, others look better dithered. Some
look great either way, depending on the color palette.
