[Docs] Replace the universal distance threshold table
Branch: docs/distance-thresholds onto main | Workspace: dev/audit-fixes
The distance reference claimed 100.0 means "exact opposites", which is not a bound of any Delta E algorithm.
Changes
docs/reference/distance.md: drop the two unfounded rows, state that the scale is algorithm-dependent, and add the measured figures.
Notes
Black against white scores exactly 100 in CIEDE2000, which is where the claim came from, but that is the lightness axis, not a maximum: green against magenta reaches 108.6.
The same pair scores 100 in DeltaE94 and 97.9 in CMC, and their largest measured distances are 148.9 and 207.7.
The first three rows are kept: they are the usual CIEDE2000 reference points and are not in question.
Readers are pointed at calibrating thresholds on their own samples.
