It is quite noticeable when you are using a limited selection of tiles or image has desaturated colors.

I've done some similar work[1], but issue with L*ab color is it's terrifically slow to calculate diff, at least in JS.

Totally. Everything improves with more images since that’s your palette for painting, so to speak. The ones I posted were with less than 100 images so you can definitely do better.

L*b was very slow, yes. It’s all done offline but I tend to like quicker feedback...
