Hi All.
Years ago I accidentally stumbled across a fractal written in Processing on Github called the “Pinwheel Fractal”. I didn’t think much of it until I got into Lazarus/Pascal programming and made a version ( at Lazarus Forum Link ). While the rendering of the fractal had some nice geometry, it lacked color effects (as it was usually one color) I did however make a random fill as well (but it was not all that appealing).
Years later I did a search for the basic form of Pinwheel Fractal on the OpenProcessing, but could not find the simple triangular form of it so I made one here:

While drinking a triple blended coffee in my backyard (and pondering about life in general) I was looking at all my fruit trees in full blossom, with all sorts of wonderful colors, I realized then, that the Pinwheel fractal needs some extra color effects. I did some searching on the internet and found some research papers outlining coloring techniques … so I started “PLAYING AROUND”.
After playing around I eventually came up with some really nice renders.
Here is my P5 JavaScript source:

Have a look at the samples below (I reduced the file sizes to upload to this forum).\
What do you think?
