Answer 1

你好
1 我把你的句子合并起来，看看你是否理解：
in the past, many famous painters meticulously ground their own colors, which was an attention to detail that is noteworthy--------现在，后面部分成了定语从句。也就是说，an attention to detail that is noteworthy是说明in the past, many famous painters meticulously ground their own colors的。
2 that is noteworthy是修饰整个短语an attention to detail 的，不是修饰detail的。
3 所以，可以说， an attention to detail that is noteworthy 与in the past, many famous painters meticulously ground their own colors的关系在你的句子里是同位语关系。
4 翻译：
在过去，许多画家在颜色调配方面非常小心，在现在看来，对这一细节的注意是有必要的。

追问

是说 to detail 和 that is noteworthy都是修饰an attention 的嘛？

追答

对，修饰attention.

Answer 2

修饰detail，意思是他们注意那些值得注意的细节
