Binary Decomposition

The Binary Decomposition coloring algorithm uses just two colors from 

the gradient. It colors fractals according to the "angle" of the last value 

of z from the 

fractal formula

. This results in quite abstract and elegant 

images.

The two colors used are at the beginning and at the middle of the 

gradient

.

There is one parameter that selects between two different flavors of the same algorithm. Each option 

creates different patterns. The second option reproduces the coloring used for many fractals in the 

classic Beauty of Fractals book.

It often works well to combine this coloring algorithm with other 

layers

 that contain more different 

colors. Furthermore, low values (for example 4) for the bail out parameter of the fractal formula 

usually give the best results.
