Controls

levels
Steps of lightness. Hue is not touched, so a colour keeps its identity and only changes floor
hues
How many spokes the colour wheel is cut into. This is what keeps teal from drifting into blue and green, as plain posterize does
chroma
Steps of saturation. Two means grey or coloured with nothing between, which is how a poster is printed
offset
Turns the wheel before the hues snap to it. The same six spokes, moved half a step, give a different palette from the same picture
