Pretty much.

Total score = 2306.67251009945

RGB#none: (486.2)
AdobeColor#initialize: (226.8)
AdobeColor#to_aco: (125.4)
RGB#to_hsl: (76.0)
HSL#to_rgb: (75.8)
MonoContrast#regenerate: (70.0)
CMYK#to_rgb: (54.9)
Metallic#none: (40.6)
Gimp#initialize: (38.2)
AdobeColor#readwords: (34.2)
RGB#to_cmyk: (33.9)
CMYK#==: (32.2)
HSL#mix_with: (32.0)
RGB#from_html: (30.0)
AdobeColor#readutf16: (29.7)

I think I'm getting it now. Inasmuch as the reported complexity
indicates the likelihood of harder to understand code or potentially
slower code, the percentage of complexity makes a difference.

Not a lot of value for the project I'm flogging right now (the
successor to color-tools that will be used in the upcoming PDF::Writer
1.1.4). Thanks.
